About this garden

The story

The garden is a tranquil and enchanting space designed to come alive after dusk, supporting night-time pollinators such as moths, bats, beetles and other nocturnal creatures. Pale flowers and silvery leaves glow under the moonlight, while soft foliage and subtle scents create a calm and reflective atmosphere.

Planting includes silvers, whites, soft purples and pinks sat amongst the swaying grasses, with the centrepiece rising moon sculpture. The garden is inspired by the often-overlooked world of night-time pollinators that play a vital role in supporting biodiversity. Though designed for creatures of the night the garden also offers a striking daytime display.
