The Talitha Arts Garden

Gold Medal Winner - Best in Show

Celebrating the therapeutic power of the creative arts

The garden uses dark tones and scarred Prunus serrula bark to create a bruised backdrop from which hope can emerge. A carved limestone chrysalis releases an eclipse of porcelain butterflies, symbolising the freedom and new perspectives found through creativity.

The transformation surrounds a central ‘thrust’ stage, reflecting the wrap-around care and performing arts used by Talitha Arts; a charity which supports people who have experienced trauma.

“The planting was exquisite and beautifully captured the journey of transformation. It was so moving and touching to see a garden capture something so close to our hearts at Talitha. We were truly honoured and thrilled.”
