  About this garden

 The story 
-----------

Pulse explores how passion is felt in the body — as rhythm. It can arrive as excitement, love, grief or courage, but it is always experienced as a change in pace. This garden translates the pattern of a heartbeat into planting and form, inviting visitors to reflect on what makes their own heart "pulse".

A heartbeat is steady yet responsive, quickening with emotion and slowing with calm. Pulse uses this living rhythm as its structure, shaping the space through moments of emphasis and pause. The planting follows a clear sequence of rise, fall and return. Taller forms mark the strongest beats, their spacing shifting to suggest acceleration and rest.

Between these moments, the garden softens. Light, responsive planting moves with the wind, making rhythm visible through motion. Colour gathers and releases: warmer tones intensify key moments, while cooler areas allow the space to breathe.

Pulse makes the intangible visible: a garden shaped by the rhythm and passion within us.
