This garden reflects the work of The Pansy Project, an ongoing conceptual artwork initiated by artist Paul Harfleet five years ago to memorialise homophobic hate crime.

The garden represents a first collaboration between Paul and his garden designer brother Tom, who have worked together to design a confrontational shattered structure created from slabs of concrete placed at extreme gradients and underplanted with 4,000 pansies. The sculpture is a metaphoric reflection on the disruptive nature of homophobic hate crime on contemporary society, and The Pansy Project’s resistance to it.
