Parkinson's UK - A Garden for Every Parkinson's Journey
=======================================================

 Large Show Garden

Inspired by a workshop for gardeners living with Parkinson's and their loved ones, this joyful garden is designed as a sanctuary that both supports and appreciates those navigating this complex neurological condition. A wide, accessible path weaves through contrasting planting borders, unified by a sculptural "hand-rill" that functions as both a flowing water feature and tactile handrail. The movement and sound of water provide sensory cues designed to assist with 'freezing', a common Parkinson's symptom.

A vibrant, sunny border of joyful, jewel-toned perennials and annuals uplift and energise. The route is also flanked by verdant woodland inspired planting to reflect calmness. Beneath a wooden, organic shaped arch visitors can rest. After dark it is gently lit, highlighting night-time plants, extending the hours being in the garden for those with the symptom of insomnia. A place of harmony and comfort for people and pollinators alike.

The garden will be relocated to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, a UK Parkinson's Centre of Excellence, so the Parkinson's community can enjoy its lasting benefits.
