The Green Sanctuary Garden
Worthing
Brief
Turn a blank canvass into a sheltered and private green sanctuary that offers a tranquil retreat for a young family. Ensure the garden is pet and child friendly.
Concept board
The design concept presents a sheltered and inviting garden, crafted to balance beauty, function, and play. The layout includes a spacious dining area for open-air family gatherings, while a generous lawn offers freedom for children, dogs, and play, supporting both pets and wildlife interaction. A dedicated children’s zone introduces curiosity and inclusion, encouraging learning through planting and tactile engagement. The garden’s material palette — combining the softness of planting with the bold presence of the Corten steel retaining wall

Architectural plants provide strong, striking form and year-round structural interest, while carefully planned layers of seasonal plants ensure the space evolves gracefully and beautifully throughout the entire year.
