About this garden

The story

Growing with Many Hands is inspired by the valuable work gardeners do to care for our green spaces. In a time of climate change, gardeners are on the ground experiencing changes first hand and are able to adapt to these changes.

Bringing together climate-resilient planting with habitat piles for biodiversity, the garden will be made as if the gardeners have just left for their tea break. Tools will poke out through the flowers, cups of coffee will be laid on the tea tables, with seed packets ready to sow.
