The garden is inspired by the landscape of Loch Craignish on Scotland’s west coast, home to the Seawilding project. The rugged coastline is part of a rich marine environment where Seawilding is focusing on the reintroduction of two keystone species - seagrass (Zostera marina) and native oysters (Ostrea edulis).

A saltwater pool is planted with seagrass, the ocean’s only flowering plant. A viewing window allows visitors to view the underwater world of Loch Craignish, inspiring conversations around marine restoration. It is surrounded by sandstone rocky outcrops and a pebble beach. A seagrass sculpture 2.5m tall connects the land based garden with the seawater pool.

The garden planting, inspired by that around Loch Craignish, is wild in character with native species that are found in or around the loch such as globeflower, a wildflower of the Scottish wet meadows, and string sedge. (Project Giving Back)
