Light is a source of energy that fuels all life; it is a constant that has evolved into a universal symbol of hope and inspiration. No matter where we are in the world, our experience of light unites us.

Light Catcher, sponsored by Marshalls Paving, BREMO Plants, Urbis Design, Artisan Plant Supports, Griple UK and Steeltech-Kinetix is a celebration of light and how it has evolved to become a universal symbol of hope and positivity. The garden harnesses natural daylight to create drama and ambience by using materials chosen for their reflective, diffusive and fluctuating qualities to create a contemplative and soothing space. The bold light-catching structure funnels sunlight down to a central reflective bowl of water and represents our collective and unifying understanding of light’s positive ‘language’.

Plants that react to light have been chosen; shimmering grasses such as Agrostis nebulosa,Briza media and Deschampsia cespitosa ‘Goldtau’ mix with taller, structural perennials such as Echinops bannaticus ‘Taplow Blue’ and Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’. The colour scheme focuses on iridescent purple and blue hues with sprays of white to create a haze of luminosity that laters and moves.
