“The garden hopes to trigger memories of time spent in nature, and encourage others to go out and create new experiences in the great outdoors.”

The garden’s centrepiece will be a high platform treehouse, clad in stag horn oak that draws inspiration from a bird or animal nest.

Interaction with the natural environment will be encouraged through the garden’s “multi-sensory”, green and blue plant scheme.
