Nine Elms Rain Garden
An intimate, densely-planted space, Nine Elms Rain Garden changes colour and texture throughout the year as the seasons change. The planting is not just for show: this area is a basin for heavy rainfall come autumn and spring. For the rest of the time, it is a quiet, natural spot to sit quietly and enjoy lush natural surroundings.
