The reference is to the cricket ground at Old Heathfield, a picturesque village in East Sussex where the designer lives. Here, Young at Heart regularly brings together older people and visiting schoolchildren through activities such as gardening, plant propagation and willow sculpture. As the venue is underused by athletes during the week, the space has become a valued community hub that offers companionship and teaches new skills. The garden reflects different aspects of the work carried out by Young at Heart. The plants along the lawn have been sown or propagated from cuttings taken during gardening sessions at the local cricket pavilion. Nearby, two willow sculptures represent a batsman and a woman with a child on a bench, the latter inspired by a real-life scene of a Young at Heart client listening to a schoolgirl read.
