This garden, celebrating the centenary of the scouting movement, represents a scouting camp in a woodland clearing.
The space includes a camp fire, seating, tent and scouting activities. A traditional entrance arch to the camp is used to exhibit rope work, and a climbing wall represents a rock overhang.
Planting features the key scouting colours of purple, orange and white - the flames of the camp fire is represented by orange Solidago and purple tones come from plants such as Digitalis (foxglove), Vinca (periwinkle), Lythrum and Centaurea (knapweed).
