About this garden

The story

This bold community garden is a space to connect, create, and let loose, designed with Rotherham's young people and created for the Children's Capital of Culture. At its heart, a striking central structure invites young people to hang out, vibe to music, and capture their next viral TikTok. Thrill-seekers can hit the adrenaline-pumping dirt track featuring rollers, jumps and berm turns, while vibrant graffiti seating brings a splash of urban creativity. Wrapped in resilient meadow planting, this dynamic space blends culture, nature, and self-expression - an open invitation to play, chill, and make it their own.

The theme for the planting is functional, low maintenance and resilient. In the containers, there will be bold, contrasting colourful plants based on the young people of Rotherham's favourite colours.

The garden will be relocated to Bramley Grange School in collaboration with the councils Childrens Capital of Culture.
