Parkinson's Garden

Created for the Parkinson's community, this garden translates daily realities into three sensory zones offering sanctuary. A wide, accessible path unifies the space, threaded by a sculptural water feature doubling as a handrail to ease 'freezing', a common symptom.

Bright, energising planting ran along one stretch of the journey, while calmer, woodland-inspired borders offered a more restful character. A sheltered arch, gently lit after dark, extended the garden's use into the evening for those living with insomnia.

The garden will be relocated to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, a Parkinson's Centre of Excellence, for lasting use by the local Parkinson's community.
