About this garden

The story

A granite skate ramp forms the heart of the garden creating an area for skateboarding and other wheeled sports, as well as communal space for get-togethers and workshops, supporting physical activity, positive relationships in a natural and engaging setting. The planting combines native and exotic species, with culinary and medicinal herbs. Apple, plum and mulberry trees provide shelter and serve as educational tools for grafting techniques. The shrub and herb layers encompass a variety of fruits (including golden raspberries, honeyberries and alpine strawberries), edible flowers (including borage, calendula, viola) and foliage (including red vein sorrel, pineapple mint, ginger and wild garlic), encouraging awareness of and learning about safe foraging and self-seeding processes.
