Nacro is the crime reduction charity, which works with ex-offenders, disadvantaged people and deprived communities.
This garden uses sustainable materials from the local area.
A cob house features in the garden next to a waterwheel powered by a natural stream running over a rock formation at the back of the garden. The roof of the cob house is planted with wild flowers, and this woodland surrounded space is tranquil and calm. York stone paving represents the garden’s imagined situation in the Yorkshire Dales.
