A ring of Birch trees were planted to encircle the stainless steel sculpture, with central access, grading down to gravels to form a representation of a tree slope. The sides of the mound were planted with strong shrub planting in bands in a simple layered approach and with species to compliment the Birch planting at the top of the mound.
