Plants, carefully chosen for their sensory properties, are layered throughout the garden to connect people with the space. As the garden will be relocated in Bedford, the design has taken inspiration from the area’s history in lace production, using some of the organic shapes from the famous Midlands ‘Bud’ lace, to create the designs for the planting borders and the York stone paving in the garden.
