University of Sheffield: Beautifully Stressed Garden
====================================================

 The garden celebrates the resilience of plants that adapt to stressful environments. Inspired by the capabilities of stress-tolerant plants to survive and flower on brownfield sites, the garden draws attention to those plants that can find a home in places where most others do not and shows the potential that many common plants have for survival. Visitors to the garden will enjoy a lively mix of plants arranged naturalistically – to suggest self-sown annuals and perennials have colonised the space. The stone wall creates a diversity of environments with the changes in height and the space for growing plants within the cracks.
