Shaped by conversations with men who have survived or who are living with prostate cancer, the garden offers an inclusive and welcoming space for people affected by the disease to come together and find strength through connection. It reinforces the message that no man should face prostate cancer alone.

At the heart of the garden is the ‘Peony Pavilion’, a bespoke cedar structure designed by Chris and inspired by the unfolding form of a peony flower, symbolising compassion and masculine strength. The pavilion provides a welcoming focal point for connection, while a formal framework of pleached trees brings a sense of structure and stability. Each tree deliberately touches the next, representing the strength of support networks.

The planting combines contrasting foliage shapes and textures to create a rich, immersive landscape, with a palette of greens, blues, purples and whites punctuated by touches of pink and yellow. Bespoke artworks woven throughout the garden reference the stark reality that one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, rising to one in four among Black men, who face a higher risk.
