About this garden

The story

This border is inspired by the overwhelming force of wildfires, their sheer size, unrelenting speed and the devastation they leave behind. The intense reds, oranges, and blacks in the planting create an immediate impact and mirror the raw devastation of wildfires.

The scorched wood and ash-like plants are stark reminders of the reality of climate change, yet the swirling grasses and soft, white tones of renewal bring a sense of emerging hope. This border is about loss but also resilience, the possibility of change, and the strength of communities coming together to rebuild and protect the future.
