A cocoon-like feature chair cradles caregivers, offering a warm embrace and a sense of security. Evergreens and textural leaves provide a long season of interest and shades of green provide a calming backdrop with white flowers illuminating darker areas. Hints of burgundy foliage and flowers act as a contrast to create depth and focal points in a small space. An angled pathway and pergola enhance the feeling of being cocooned and create a feeling of being surrounded by nature Inspired by personal experience, the garden highlights the emotional toll of supporting a child with Tuberous Sclerosis. Access to green space while at hospital provides an escape from the stresses of a medical environment. This garden serves as a much-needed sanctuary for caregivers – a 'Room to Breathe'.
