About this garden

The story

This Border nurtures the connection to the food growing process, while challenging the aesthetics of what an edible bed should look like - encouraging hands-on education and exploratory interest for school children. Ornamental and naturalistic planting with varied textural and architectural qualities sees edible planting merge functionality and beauty.

Built elements recreate an outdoor classroom environment, with vertical surfaces and a food prep table, which appears to float above the plants. The border is a collaboration with Sheffield-based social enterprise Discovery Outdoors, and will be relocated to a local primary school after the Show.
