It's a powerful reminder that when each of us plays our part, we can end hunger together. The theme of togetherness is woven throughout the garden's design: intersecting paths, a shared seating area, and a reciprocal frame structure made from individual timbers interlaced for strength and stability. These elements represent how communities can hold each other up and come together to create a stronger whole. At the heart of the garden, a water feature offers a quiet space for reflection and connection. It can be drained to reveal additional seating, unlocking the potential for more people to gather and share the space. The planting scheme celebrates diversity and collaboration. Combinations of bright, energetic plants bring momentum and vibrancy, while softer woodland-edge species introduce calm and balance. Together, they reinforce that sense of togetherness and show what's possible when we all play our part to end hunger. The garden is being relocated to Strabane Foodbank, part of the Trussell community in Northern Ireland.
