Details
The King’s Trust Garden: Seeding Success, designed by Joe Wilkins, is inspired by hostile environments and celebrates pioneer plants, whose seeds symbolize the potential for life, growth, and optimism for the future—paralleling the untapped potential found in young people. Screen-printed glass panels weave through the garden, offering an artistic interpretation of seed dispersal, while drifts of grasses and perennials are punctuated by low-growing sub-shrubs in muted silvery greys and greens, accented with subtle colour. These plantings flank basalt paths that lead to an intimate, quiet space for reflection.
Our manager and yard team at the Scotland Depot made a significant contribution to the project, sourcing and palletizing just over 20 tonnes of reclaimed Whin kerbs within a short timeframe. We also supplied angular rocks and gravels for the garden, which was constructed by The Landscaping Consultants.
Following its initial installation, the garden will be redesigned for its permanent home at Uxbridge College in West London, where it will be used, developed, and maintained by students enrolled in The King’s Trust programme alongside the local community.
