At its centre, a large, five-metre-high milk churn sculpture symbolises the cultural heritage of Irish dairy production and celebrates the grass-based system that is the foundation of Ireland’s world-renowned “Liquid Gold” dairy produce. The garden is inspired by the many initiatives farmers are undertaking to improve biodiversity through sustainable farm management. It is designed with a strong emphasis on sustainability and constructed with minimum impact on the environment. The planting is representative of Irish dairy pastures, all materials are recycled, and boundary fences and the sculpture are supported by environmentally sensitive, reusable ground screws. The garden showcases the ripple effect of Irish dairy’s sustainable farming journey on food quality and nutrition and the impact this has on our environment and our society.
