The Heart of the Jungle

The Heart of the Jungle is a contemporary, foliage-led show garden that reimagines the modern urban garden as a place of escape, wellbeing and year-round enjoyment. The garden uses bold architectural structure, raised planting and hardy exotic species to create an immersive, transportive space that remains realistic for UK gardens.

A heart-shaped pathway forms the organising spine of the garden, guiding visitors through layered planting beds rich in texture and form rather than seasonal colour. The design demonstrates how climate change and urban heat allow a wider palette of exotic-looking plants to thrive in UK cities, offering stylish, low-maintenance garden solutions.
