Triangle Garden: Connecting, Growing and Enjoying Nature for 25 Years
3 March – 12 April 2026
For a quarter of a century, the Triangle Garden has been bringing people together through the simple joy of gardening, creativity and connection with nature. This exhibition celebrates the vibrant community that has grown around the garden, featuring photographs taken almost entirely by the gardeners themselves.
Located within Ransoms Recreation Ground, the Triangle Garden is a thriving community space where people of all ages and abilities can get involved in hands‑on, land‑based activities. From growing food and tending plants to creating wildlife habitats and making permanent garden features, the garden offers a welcoming environment for learning, wellbeing and collaboration.
As part of a national network of permaculture demonstration projects, the Triangle Garden is dedicated to reconnecting people with the natural world and promoting sustainable living.
