This Long Border design is inspired by the concept of ‘Restorative Landscapes’, which promote experiences that are restorative to physical, social and mental wellbeing.  They link us with nature; providing us with the biophilic connection that all of us innately crave.

The naturalistic composition seeks to mimic the atmosphere of a flower-rich meadow on a small scale and offers a moment of pause to slow down, stimulate our senses and connect with nature.  The design celebrates natural Yorkshire landscapes that induce a sense of awe and wonder.

Plant selections are inspired by traditional meadow species, blended with textural grasses. A sculptural panel made from rusted recycled steel echoes the flowing form of hills and represents the grounding permanence of a familiar ancient landscape.  The title comes from the poem 'Leisure' by William H. Davies, which expresses how important it is for our quality of life, to take time to appreciate the beauty of nature.
