• More than 300 cultured fish and other marine lifeforms live in the garden's suspended ocean
• As the sun shines through the glass ceiling over the garden dappled shadows appear on the Portland stone, mirroring the ocean-like movement of the water
• A quote from Shakespeare’s The Tempest is debossed into sheet steel around the garden. As the steel disintegrates so too will the quote – mirroring the loss of beauty if we don’t look after our oceans

91ÇÑ×Ó the garden 

Designed to celebrate the beauty of the vast underwater garden of our great oceans, this garden consists of a series of aquatic tanks, hosting ocean plants, coral and fish that surround the central feature of a three-dimensional pearl diver.

The planting is dominated by cacti and succulents to imitate the structure and form of underwater coral. Suspended Tillandsia adds an algae effect, its form reminiscent of a plant suspended in fluid.

The Pearlfisher Garden, in partnership with Plastic Oceans, highlights the irrevocable impact of plastic waste on our precious ecosystems and is a call to action to brands, businesses and designers to create sustainable lifecycles for products and packaging.
