It showcases realistic methods of space saving that maximise both comfort and greenery. The theme centres on flexibility and adaptability, reflecting the increasingly temporary and mobile nature of modern living. All elements are modular, lightweight and designed to be moved by two people, allowing the layout to be easily reconfigured. Visitors can expect to see container planting, folding furniture and vertical structures that add height and interest without overwhelming the space. Inspiration is drawn from the ephemeral qualities of nature's shifting light, changing seasons and the way nature continually evolves and renews itself. The Transient Garden offers a calm and functional retreat, demonstrating how small, impermanent spaces can provide lasting wellbeing and a sense of connection to the natural world.
