Aligning with Killik & Co's investment ethos, the garden celebrates a disappearing craft from Britain's natural wetland heritage and responds to the challenges of a changing climate. [The UK ranks among the world's most nature-depleted countries, with around 50% of its biodiversity remaining, compared to a global average of 75%.](https://stateofnature.org.uk/) The garden aims to show how introducing biodiverse zones can improve species abundance, habitat health and help reverse biodiversity loss in the UK. The structure captures and channels rainwater into a small flood zone to form a central wetland habitat. Surrounded by fruiting trees, self-seeding plants and a mix of grasses, the garden is rooted in the principal of making more from less by supporting wildlife, providing harvests and giving year-round seasonal interest. The garden is being relocated to a Centre Point project site in Kennington, London.
