Designed to be the ultimate talking point, the border invites visitors to take a seat either side and quite literally have conversations over it. We know spending time in nature can have a profound impact on our social skills, allowing us to be more present, listen clearer and become more attuned to our emotions. Ultimately helping us to make more meaningful connections. So this border aims to provide the perfect environment to cultivate connections, old and new. And you just might meet a butterfly, bee or ladybird too.
