'Nature's Resilience' was inspired by rubbish I unearthed while gardening-a stark reminder of the damage we've done-and by children I work with, fearful of insects and disconnected from the natural world. Healing begins with reconnection: between communities, ecosystems, and generations. A living arch links a recovering wasteland to lush, pollinator-friendly planting. Above ground, plants restore damaged soil; below, a hidden mycorrhizal network connects roots, sharing resources-just as human communities thrive through mutual support. Two sculptures symbolise this coming together: one formed from living plants, sheltering insects in her dress; the other, seated and crafted from the castoffs of our convenience. Created from recycled materials, the garden invites reflection on how we consume-and how we might grow a more connected, hopeful future.
Elements of "Nature's Resilience' will be relocated to St Barnabas Primary School in Wiltshire. By teaching children from a young age to nurture nature, we help ensure the planet will one day rest in more capable hands.
