The M&G Garden
Gold medalist and Best in Show
This garden designed by James Basson is inspired by the principles of ecological sustainability and the urgent need for action to preserve the fragile balance of our planet.
It uses the unique environment of Malta to explore the cyclical relationship between destruction and creation, as the country provides a microcosm of our planet's plight today.
Malta has made significant inroads into dealing with their water limitations, sustainable waste disposal, recycling and composting.
In essence, Malta has adapted to overcome challenges that we all need to consider to protect the future of the world we live in.
The garden itself is situated within a quarry separated into a series of spaces, each with its own ecology, from water through to cliff.
