The garden incorporates resilient and sustainable planting ideas for hot, dry slopes and sunken, wet marginal areas. Shade-creating trees give habitats for wildlife and are chosen for their ability to take up and store carbon. The design concept is balance, with two halves of yin and yang. A central pathway dissects the space and contoured mounds frame a reflective pool at the garden’s centre. A curved bench offers visitors a place on which to pause, sit and reflect. With take-home ideas for upcycling, the garden demonstrates creative ways to use readily-available materials in interesting ways that can easily be recreated at home. By championing a positive approach to climate change, plants are selected to attract pollinators, increase biodiversity and for their versatility such as flood mitigation and pollution-busting.
