The stone used within the garden is being carefully sourced from a quarry in the Peak District — a fitting origin, as the garden’s final destination will be in Sheffield, on the edge of this same landscape.

This section follows the selection of that stone at its source, and the journey from raw material to crafted form. It also tells the story of the skilled stone wallers entrusted with shaping it — artisans in their own right, whose knowledge and experience bring both structure and character to the garden.
