Lady Garden Foundation 'Silent No More' Garden
About this garden
Designed to spark curiosity and open uninhibited conversations about gynaecological health, this multi-layered garden aims to break down stigma and ignite dialogue around the five gynaecological cancers: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal and vulval. The garden's layout is directly inspired by an etching by 20th-century Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida — and its central structure echoes his ceramic forms, providing a safe and enveloping space where sunlight and shade shift throughout the day.
A winding path leads visitors through richly planted borders where five distinct sculptures — each representing one of the five gynaecological cancers — punctuate the planting. From a central pool, water flows gently through five deep rills, guiding the journey from intimate nooks with secluded seating into a communal space where open conversation is invited and encouraged. The contrasting environments are intentional: the garden is designed to break silence, foster connection and ultimately help save lives.
The structures at the centre of the garden were handcrafted by Cornwall-based Ruddy Joinery in collaboration with Hawkes, ensuring every element is artisan-made rather than manufactured. Planting transitions from soft greys, pinks and blues into bold, vibrant tones — reflecting the Lady Garden Foundation's fearless spirit. Built for long-term sustainability using low-treatment materials and reusable Cornish slate paths, nearly all elements will be reinstated when the garden is relocated to Jersey after the show.
