The aim of the garden is to raise awareness of the issues surrounding knife crime and to project a strong message to a national audience.
In essence the garden depicts the journey of a perpetrator of knife crime. The imagery represents the decisions an offender will have to make and the possible outcomes of dropping the knife. One side of the garden depicts a run down, urbanised area with harsh looking plants that have thorns, spikes and leaves with serrated edges. Their journey is complete when the offender arrives on the other side in a harmonious garden featuring softly textured planting and vibrant colour combinations.
