A Problem Shared is a Problem Halved
“This border design is a space for people to share their problems and woes, a space to unravel and talk, and to open up with their thoughts. Its a safe space surrounded by nature that they can sit and share a moment with nature and wildlife or talk to a friend to help with their own wellbeing. The Yin/Yang paving reflects the opposing forces and the user can sit at the side that reflects their feelings at that time. The cross over of the corten artwork is a bridge from the dark side to light side, the planting compliments this by having low deep colours crossing over to a taller lighter palette as the users mood is lifted. This border is split into two but provides a calming and welcoming area that can be used as one, with one goal in mind to talk and share your thoughts.”

The theme of 2024 is ‘Share my Space.’ The theme is all about harnessing the potential of small garden spaces and using them as catalysts for building a sense of community through gardening. Our gardens, no matter how big or small, are spaces we can come together, learn from one another and cultivate a shared green oasis.
