Garden description
Bill Butterworth has created a playful space based around the idea of ‘the tulgey wood’ where the Jabberwocky lives in Carroll’s poem. The garden is a therapeutic play space for traumatised young people so they, like the hero in the poem, can exclaim ‘O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' as they play and slay their inner demons.
