Designed for children, it provides a playful, immersive space for people to explore and connect with the fascinating lives of songbirds. Three elements – shelter, water and food – are instrumental to birds’ lives. The design is inspired by the movement and perspective of a bird, foraging for food and water while moving between points of safety and shelter. Two pathways weave between layers of planting, mimicking how birds prefer to move through a network of cover. At the centre of the garden is the birdhouse den made from reclaimed materials. It includes six hand-crafted metalwork motifs of threatened UK songbirds. Bird-friendly planting provides natural sources of food, nesting material and shelter. A circular pond provides shallow water for birds to drink and bathe in.
