Details

The show garden celebrates the restorative power of urban green spaces, conveying hope, recovery, and inspiration for future generations. Entered through an archway echoing the proposed gateways to St James’s Piccadilly churchyard, the garden reveals a calm, contemplative retreat where nature leads, framed by a rich, biodiverse planting scheme.

Designed as a sanctuary for both people and wildlife, the space invites visitors to pause, wander, and engage with layered greenery, dappled shade, and gentle water features. Climate-resilient trees provide structure and serenity, while a circular timber counselling cabin nestles within the foliage. Pathways are finished with CEDEC Red footpath gravel, supplied by CED.
