Vital Earth: The Night Sky Garden has been designed as a space for Beechwood Autistic College, near Cardiff in the Vale of Glamorgan, close to the beach & set the beautiful countryside amongst mature trees. The college not only provides an opportunity for star gazing, but also a connection to the natural landscape & has a dedicated horticultural centre.

The Brecon Beacons have Night Sky status & is 1 of the 5 best places to star gaze in the world.The Rich brothers’ design is inspired by star constellations and the different forms and elements of a star. The garden will be a naturalistic, calm environment where the children can learn about both land and space. The garden also aims to raise awareness of light pollution affecting our ability to see the sky at night.
