Constructed entirely from reusable, recycled or reclaimed materials, it highlights the versatility of using salvaged items in innovative garden design. Glass bottle sculptures positioned on metal rods reflect flowering plants, recycled timber cubes on metal support frames form bird nests, stacked bicycle wheels provide mature climbing frames for plants, and paths are formed with reclaimed paving and sustainably sourced gravel. Planting is multi-layered, with native mature trees, hedges, topiary and vibrant borders with bold floral tones that undulate over earth mounds. Mature planting elevates the space, demonstrating how plants create positive and sustainable environments which complement recycled materials. At the front, an open space provides a forum where Repak is hosting a wide range of informative talks and demonstrations on the benefits of working with recycled materials.
