The Jellicoe Flower Garden is arranged in a classical grid overlaid with organically shaped drifts of plants to give a postmodern effect. Intersecting paths and benches allow people to sit amongst the flowers and appreciate their colour and scent. If you look at the Water Gardens on a plan or from the air, it resembles a snake: the tail curves round the mound at the northern end, while at the south is the head, with the fountain for an eye. Along the body the cascading weirs echo the movement of a snake. The flower garden is meant to be a howdah (a seat for riding on the back of an elephant, often with a canopy) on the back of the snake.
