sleepers and tyres

Recycling. The paths are partly made from old railway sleepers donated by the rail company. The bricks to build the raised beds were over-fired rejects. The planters are used tyres. Even the Braille information plaques have been printed on used x-ray film. All of these materials have been re-used to create a durable and pleasant garden, instead of being discarded as waste.
