The Ability Garden
This year’s garden, known as ‘The Ability Garden’, champions the reality that not all disabilities are visible. Designed to allow everybody to be able to garden, it contains mobile raised beds, and a circular raised space which enables wheelchair users to participate in gardening.

There is also a very large border running the back to the back of the plot which is at ground level. The easy access theme has been continued by ensuring that all levels between the festival grounds and the garden are even.
The gardens are designed by Tony Wagstaff, Early Help Family Support Practitioner for the council, and they are planted and created by Tony and young people on the youth offending programme as part of their community reparation. While showing drive and passion when delivering the project, they are able to work towards a City and Guild Level 1 in practical Horticulture skills, enabling them to apply their practical skills in the future.
