Plant Spa
Mair Ellis
This garden has been inspired by the threat posed by man to the plant environment. The theme of the garden is an imaginary world of the future, where plants we once took for granted must be protected from the harsh enironment we have created.

Ceci N’est Pas un Jardin
Sim Flemons
Referencing the work of artists Fischli and Weiss, Magritte and Duchamp, the installation challenges the onlooker as to the definition of a garden.
Gambling Environments
Anita Smith
‘Gambling Environments’ illustrates the consequences of careless human waste disposal. The cubes represent a set of fortune dice and each face of the dice carries a different word upon it.
Ecstasy in a Very Black Box
Tony Smith
‘Ecstasy in a Very Black Box’ has been designed for MDF The Bipolar Organisation, to raise awareness of the condition and the work of the charity.
Forest2
Ivan Tucker
Forest2 is a conceptual garden with three main themes: the manipulation of perception by visual illusion; abstraction of a natural system; and the forest and the emotional response it creates in the person experiencing it.

Somnium Argentum
Caragh Walsh
This garden is intended to represent a dream-like scenario; on completion this installation could be appropriately sited within the grounds of a hotel, spa, holistic centre or a spiritual retreat. The garden represents a person’s journey through their life and the various paths open to them.
