The garden

A ‘potager’ style garden, with a combination of vegetables and flowers. Key features of the design are the white flowers, purple vegetables, and green foliage, creating a striking visual impact through a carefully considered interplay of colour, texture, and structure.

The design was inspired by Trent View College’s Horticulture department and its mission to raise the profile of its learners, all of whom have additional needs. With the right scaffolding and support, learners can achieve success and independence.

The combination of planting demonstrates how our differences can combine to create something beautiful while also showcasing that with a little bit of scaffolding we can create environments that allow everyone to flourish.
