Big Picture Garden
The garden acknowledges the construction methods and ideals of Peak District residents past, who lived and worked sustainably as a matter of course. Found objects and materials sourced from a 19th century Peak District farmstead are here refreshed and restored, put to innovative use to create a cohesive garden. Salvaged farmstead machinery and miscellany are given new leases of life as planters and ponds, while a bespoke bicycle chain feature serves as a trellis for climbing plants. Planting is both vibrant and productive, with a profusion of home-grown produce including carrots, leeks, chard, courgette and strawberries, intermingling among richly coloured blooms in a palette of deep blues and cool violets, punchy reds and fiery orange.
