This garden is a physical manifestation of a personal experience of suffering from, and living with, depression. Its purpose is to help those who suffer in similar ways to be assured that they are not alone.

The dominant features are four metal walls, which act as a foil for the planting and enclose the inner, central area of the garden. They represent a sense of security but also a feeling of imprisonment.

From the exterior, the viewer has a glimpse of what it is to be trapped in the centre of the garden. The view outward shows the life that could be enjoyed providing the right path of help and hard work are taken.

The planting is deliberately different inside and out, with plants that thrive in sunny conditions contrasting with those that prefer shade.
