Their leaves, flowers and roots carry tales of healing, protection, mystery and wonder. The Folklorians Garden gathers together these stories, some familiar, some long forgotten and gives them space to grow once more. In The Folklorians Garden, plants are more than their leaves, flowers and roots, they are storytellers. Some whisper of red dragons or green knights as they stand proud, softly enveloped in the white of the cliffs that we call home. The garden offers a sanctuary where forgotten tales are given space to grow once more. As you wander through these borders, listen closely. These ancient stories are waking up, starting as a soft murmur and growing into a vibrant chorus that demands to be heard. Today, as you step into The Folklorians Garden, you take on the role of guardians helping to ensure that the stories of these plants will never be forgotten.
