This garden celebrates 90 years of The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, which began with four veterans blinded in the First World War receiving a lifeline when they were partnered with a guide dog. It traces the journey from a place of isolation, depicted by a crouched metal figure under a copper beech, to a life of independence, shown by a figure striding along with his dog, to a stream flanked by wildflowers such as common mallow and autumn hawkbit and perennials such as Aster x frikartii ‘Mönch’ and Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’.
