Breaking Ground

This garden designed by Andrew Wilson and Gavin McWilliam highlights Wellington College’s ambition to break down barriers to education, and explores the themes of progress, evolution and thought patterns.

Tall, sculptural and transparent walls run through the garden connecting the various elements and materials.

Connectivity in the garden between forms and patterns is key, inspired partly by neuron and synapse connections, a reference to education and learning.

Water echoes this concept through the main pool and rills running below the wall structures.

Heathland is featured as a key habitat which is currently more endangered than the rain forest.
