This contemporary garden was created for both birds and people.
It shows that a garden can be highly functional, aesthetically pleasing and beneficial to birds, through innovative design and planting.

Climate change is affecting the distribution and life cycles of birds, plants and wildlife generally across the UK. Gardens can be an oasis for wildlife in a changing environment. Many of the plants used in this garden are native in origin, and provide direct benefits to birds, as well as being attractive additions to the garden. The seating terrace appears to float in the water that surrounds it, and is accessed by a number of rock-filled gabion stepping stones. It provides a tranquil setting in which people can relax and enjoy the environment around them. The modern hard materials reflect the urban context of this garden, and emphasise the relationship between people and their environment, and how this harmonious balance is created.
