Recall , Return , Renew
Designers : Sue Arthur & Ian Potts Company : Ornatum Garden Restoration
We are recalling a wild childhood , going over an old broken wall into an untamed garden alive on summer evenings with moths and bats . Sue and Ian are returning to the way they experienced nature as children , and learning how to renew our landscapes for a better future .

Where the Wild Things Are
Designer : Zoe Cook , Trellis Design
‘ That very night in Max ’ s room a forest grew ... and grew-and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around ...’ With a colour palette of soft oranges and purples inspired by the beautiful illustrations of Maurice Sendak ’ s classic childrens ’ book , the garden pulls you in to sit , surrounded by all things wild in your very own secluded spot . Tropical in feel , bold textures contrast with finer leaved ferns . Pollinator friendly flowers attract insects and add colour to the scheme , plus a hidden miniature pond increases the diversity of creatures to befriend .
