Designed by competition winner and newcomer to Tatton, Heather Appleton, The Bubble Garden is inspired by a photograph of charity founder Shirley Nolan blowing bubbles with her son Anthony.
The garden, while reminding visitors of the origin of the charity and its importance to the bone barrow donor register, is intended to bring joy and stimulate conversation. All the structures have calming curves, the focal point being the calm circular area in the centre.
The trees pay homage to child-like drawings and the planting mimics the bubbles and fountains. Complete with bubble machine, bubble jets and a bubble chair, this garden is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
