Set within ‘Misterland’, the home of the well-known Mr. Men and Little Miss characters, this garden is a fun place, enticing to children and is intended to convey the emotions experienced by families living with cancer.
The key theme is a split hill and house featuring iconic Mr. Men illustrations, with one side representing happy and the other worry. Bright shades of yellow and orange symbolise the feelings of happiness and shades of blue and purple symbolise feelings of worry. Colourful and contrasting planting wraps around the hill. Key plants include Echinacea, Felicia amelloides and Rudbeckia, which all have daisy faces reminiscent of the laughing daisies of the Mr. Men titles. While in Mr. Worry’s garden Cedrus deodara 'Feelin Blue' is set within feature stone circles that represent tears and sadness. The passage between the two sides celebrates 30 years of Children with Cancer UK.
