Two people walk into a dome set in a lush Sensory Garden in Hollingworth Lake Country Park.

When Rochdale Borough Council approached me to design a sensory garden at Hollingworth Lake Country Park, I knew this was a project I could not pass up on. The strong community aspect, the way people will be able to truly benefit from the space—I knew it would be something special.


In the latest edition of Pro Landscaper, I share the journey of bringing this sensory garden to life—from the initial design process to the collaborative effort with park ranger Adam Clayton and the dedicated Green Volunteers.


Read now to discover how we brought this sensory garden to life, or grab a copy at the newsstands for more stories just like this.



In the same edition, you will also find my opinion piece on the nativist ideology in 'woke' horticulture.
