About the Garden - Large Garden
Tusla foster carers provide a safe, secure, and loving home environment for the most vulnerable in our society. This garden, a magical space with flowing movement, delicate structure and naturalistic planting, illustrates this safe and caring environment where young people can flourish and reach their full potential.
The garden is designed to represent the fostering journey with a distinct palette of materials creating a juxtaposition between the challenges one faces along any journey and the optimism and love that envelops the fostering story. Corten steel is used extensively with a natural, wispy, flowing planting scheme to highlight the hope and love shared by foster families.
The result is a tranquil space where children and their foster families can share in fun, loving times and engage in the many social or solitary distractions a garden can offer, be that planting, playing, growing, or escaping.
