Inspired by forgotten corners of larger gardens or nature reserves, the garden actively encourages wildlife to share an urban space. Contemporary architectural detailing includes 'built in' bird boxes and feeders, solitary insect nesting sites. Water provides a further layer for amphibian life whilst the floating boardwalk and platform provide shade & shelter.

The naturalistic planting has been carefully selected to attract as diverse a range of insects as possible.
