In a section of a disused quarry featuring redundant industrial elements that include an inspection tower, aggregate conveyor, digger bucket and old tyres, nature is reclaiming the space and a garden is growing. Large pines, textural foliage, a small nature pond and a bench provide a relaxing space. The garden captures the industrial atmosphere of the site.
