Over a year, that adds up to 1,825 hours, which is 76 days or two and a half months. Some of this screen time is unavoidable, but much of it feels inescapable. Hobbies and interests are often sidelined with the excuse of not having enough time, yet the time is there every day, waiting to be reclaimed. This garden explores what can be achieved in an environment free from the distractions of technology. It offers a space where you can physically separate from your phone and focus on a single, enjoyable task. A walk-through glasshouse filled with books, paints, papers, fabrics and threads welcomes visitors, inviting them to choose something creative and journey through the space. At the end of a winding path, a peaceful seating area surrounded by vibrant planting awaits, where creativity, focus and time can be reclaimed.
