And how did the collaboration come about between you two?

Nic HowardGUEST
So I'd designed and planted, uh, their trade stand at Chelsea, and that came about with a very tenuous link.

Nic HowardGUEST
My best friend in Cape Town, her cousin worked for David Harbor, and I knew of her, but she worked for David Harbor, and then we just, we literally met at a show and I was like, "Oh my God, Jess." And she was like, "Nick," like that.

Nic HowardGUEST
But I think there's something about a pond that is kind of so restful and cooling and, you know, I love that I, you know, in like in, in, you know, the, the dew ponds you get in the countryside where they're like ancient kind of dipping ponds in the fields, and that lovely kind of clean disc of water.

Nic HowardGUEST
We did a walk on the South Downs over the Easter weekend, and the National Trust had put all these posts up around these dew ponds, and apparently they, they look like just a body of water with grass kind of going into them.
