About this garden

The story

The garden aims to encourage adventure, exploration, and curiosity through two different zones, both with contrasting scales and atmospheres. In the first, a winding path guides through luscious and leafy planting, designed to encourage curiosity and a feeling of enclosure. The route leads to an intimate, hidden destination with an engaging feature. The second zone unfolds out onto a wider area, designed in contrast to the first. Here the garden is liberating and open. The colourful planting akin to a stylised meadow. Within this space, there is the opportunity to walk above the planting and along a boardwalk, offering a unique perspective. Objects found in the garden gently play with our sense of scale, encouraging a shift in perceptions of the surrounding environment. Familiar materials present themselves in new and unusual ways – challenging our concept of the norm.
