Details

Made in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK, the Connections garden was built to highlight the changing dynamics in a family when someone is diagnosed with dementia. The planting included native meadow species often considered weeds but in actual fact are plants which promote biodiversity in the garden. Giant scabious and Scotch Thistle added height to the woodland garden which also featured a felled tree with saplings growing around it. One of the main features in the garden was the Slatewood walkway, covered in a yarn-bombed structure this claustrophobic space was to emphasise the confusion and disorientation experienced in people with dementia.
