At the heart of this family garden is a central wetland surrounded by structures built with traditional straw bale and reed building techniques. Aligning with Killik & Co's investment ethos, the garden celebrates a disappearing craft from Britain's natural wetland heritage and responds to the challenges of a changing climate.
The UK ranks among the world's most nature-depleted countries, with around 50% of its biodiversity remaining, compared to a global average of 75%. The garden aims to show how introducing biodiverse zones can improve species abundance, habitat health and help reverse biodiversity loss in the UK.
The structure captures and channels rainwater into a small flood zone to form a central wetland habitat. Surrounded by fruiting trees, self-seeding plants and a mix of grasses, the garden is rooted in the principal of making more from less by supporting wildlife, providing harvests and giving year-round seasonal interest.
The garden is being relocated to a Centre Point project site in Kennington, London.
