Our native flora is under pressure and many species are teetering on the brink of extinction. Helping to save those in danger and preserve biodiversity are seed banks, modern day Noah’s Arks for plants.

This garden comprises an old Cornish seed bank that has been split in half to reveal its treasures, which are held back by great rusty steel walls. Some seeds have spilled out to germinate around pools that reflect light from the copper core. Others have colonised the hill itself as they might do in the wild.

A Fable for Tomorrow serves as both a cautionary tale and a celebration of the Cornish landscape, from cliff top to sand dune.
