Iggy inspiration

Wild man of pop Iggy Pop is the inspiration for one of the small gardens at this year’s show! Lust for Life by the Children’s Society takes inspiration from the song Lust for Life by Iggy Pop and is an optimistic and invigorating space.

The innovative design uses the space to represent children's dreams through vibrantly coloured planting and 'thought bubbles' representing the dreams of children and their manifestation into reality. An arc of water, representing the power and triumph of the human spirit, traverses the garden in rhythmic bursts to the beat of Lust for Life.

Iggy said: "Lust for Life is full of optimism as young people should be...but too many aren't. I'm honoured that The Children's Society's garden is inspired by my music and wholeheartedly support the work that they do - they rock!”
