The garden is designed as a public space where visitors can understand the importance of CALM's work. Sixteen lives are lost to suicide every day, and each square within the garden represents one of those lives
A contemplative garden structured around sixteen squares, each one representing a life lost to suicide every 24 hours. A continuous pathway offers choice - to turn, pause, reflect and reconnect. Through calm planting, gentle movement and quiet spaces, the garden transforms loss into hope, symbolising the lives saved through conversation, intervention and human connection.
A sculpture, Weight of the World, captures the emotional burden carried by those who are struggling, helping to express the feelings that often go unseen.
Inspired by the idea of creating space for reflection, the garden uses natural materials and a restrained planting palette to form a clear, balanced layout. It offers visitors a calm, welcoming environment where simplicity and order encourage pause, contemplation and a gentle sense of wellbeing.
