FBD Insurance Urban Sanctuary Garden

Sponsored by FBD Insurance Designer: Kevin Dennis

The FBD Insurance Urban Sanctuary Garden is designed for a contemporary urban lifestyle, inspiring those living in towns or cities to become more engaged with their outdoor spaces. The garden will encourage visitors to realise the potential for any outdoor area, whether it’s a compact garden, an apartment balcony or an allotment.

Designed by Kevin Dennis, the garden includes architectural elements of cutting-edge hard landscaping trends, creating a space that exudes modernity, diversity, calm and wellbeing. The planting is diverse, illustrating the nature of plants in urban areas and how plants and trees from around the world can thrive in the mild Irish climate. With structured multi-stem trees, warm palms, dry climate plants, and drifts of grasses and perennials, the planting has a warm colour palette and creates an inviting tone so visitors are drawn into the space. This colourful garden will visually spark the flames of the contemporary Irish spirit.
