The garden is a representation of the Fingal Way, a planned future pedestrian and cycling network linking communities throughout Fingal. The design demonstrates the potential multiple benefits of public open spaces, such as pedestrian and cycle routes, as high-quality green infrastructure that balances environmental, ecological and community needs. The hard landscape elements of the garden have been constructed by participants of the Local Training Initiative (LTI) which is run by Fingal County Council in conjunction with the Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB) based in Bremore Castle, Balbriggan, using their traditional stonework skills developed on the training programme. Many of the garden features will be reused for the landscaping of Bremore Castle grounds.
The garden includes a swale as a demonstration of a sustainable drainage system, while a stormwater pipe is reused to create a striking seat. And, if you look carefully, you will see that the gabion walls include openings to provide pollinator insect habitats.
