A striking trompe l’oeil (‘to deceive the eye’) mural wall created by local artist Andy O’Rourke provides an engaging and colourful backdrop to the garden and runs along a main path, which is enveloped and softened by planting. Additional pathways draw visitors through trees and resilient, naturalistic planting into a central area featuring curved bespoke gabion seating and planters. The garden draws attention to how the most unlikely of spaces can be revitalised into greener, more welcoming spaces through community initiatives.
