Pete witnessed the Winter Garden’s early development when he began working at CUBG in 1977.  The previously level site was landscaped to provide a shallow valley into which a gently curving path runs, the site lies open to the south so that the light of the setting sun in winter floods into the area.  The Winter Garden brings together coloured stems, bark and foliage texture with winter flower and fragrance.
