The Defiant Garden
Designer : Sarah Dalby Company : Sarah ’ s Garden Services
My border , inspired by ‘ Defiant Gardens ’*, represents an oasis of calm amid chaos and conflict . The main feature is a willow wheel , symbolising a gun carriage wheel pulled by horses . Standard trees in supply boxes at each corner represent soldiers on sentry duty . The garden offers a taste of home and solace , with purple symbolising animals in war and white representing peace , reflecting the garden ’ s tranquillity .

The “ Following In My Footsteps ” garden celebrates education through shared experiences and a deep connection with nature . Inspired by my grandparents ’ gardening , I designed a space where my children can play while I enjoy a personal haven . Features like the mud kitchen , sensory path , and weaving seat provide spots for exploration and adventure . This garden is a place to learn , grow together , and immerse children in play long enough to get some weeding done !
