The Teagasc Garden of Hope
The ‘Teagasc Garden of Hope’ provides a peaceful space for spiritual renewal, reflection, and ease. A sense of intimacy is enhanced by the circular format used throughout. The circular form encourages contemplation and walking to relieve stress in a calm and secure setting. A fusion of planting, sophisticated colours and changing water flow creates an uplifting space in which to pause and replenish one’s wellbeing. The garden aims to evoke serenity and a connection with nature to raise the spirit.
The positive contribution of Pieta House is recognized universally and is celebrated through the creation of this garden. Darkness into Light, which is the main tenet of the charity Pieta House, will be represented by the colour scheme of the planting. Following Bloom, a modified design of the garden will move to a permanent home at one of the Pieta House centres.
