## About this tender

For a full description along with instructions about this tender please refer to the tender pack included with this requirement.

The proposal is to create a new, sinuous path from Victoria Walk through to the existing entrance of the History of the Rose Garden. New planting beds will then be created along this path to group the regenerated wild roses closer together and explain their history and characteristics to visitors.

The main route will be surfaced with a resin bound gravel to match that of The Great Boardwalk Borders at RBG Kew. A narrower, secondary path will wind its way through existing trees which support climbing roses within more naturalistic planting. All paths will be set on a free draining,cellular confinement system using a no dig approach adjacent to trees. Surrounding soil will be graded up to meet the levels of the new paths. The entrance to the walkway will be paved with granite setts to highlight the beginning of the Story of the Rose, starting with the Wild Rose Collection.

There are two existing in ground water points on the site that will require protection during the works. These will be retained for use with new overground soaker hoses to irrigate the new planting.
