The Concrete 2.0 garden, supported by Red Rhino Crushers, showcases the use of sustainable and reclaimed materials to create a versatile, dynamic, and beautiful outdoor space.
Sustainable paving, produced in the UK with cement-free concrete and recycled aggregates, is featured, alongside recycled and reclaimed materials such as agricultural water troughs, scaffold-board boundary screens, and rain channels made from reclaimed angle iron.
The garden emphasises responsible water management, with surface water captured by the studio roof used to feed water features and rainwater returning directly to the ground via wide channels of loose recycled aggregates.
After the exhibit, the paving and water pools will be relocated to a private domestic garden in the East Midlands, while trees, plants, and other materials will be reused in future garden builds.
