The work undertaken by the Dyslexia Research Trust is highlighted by this garden. A key part of this is analysing how the brain processes visual information differently depending on its colour – specifically blue and yellow shades compared to white light.

The garden is divided in two by a natural stone wall, with a path from the white side of the garden to the blue and yellow side. The opening in the wall is partly blocked by sculptured books depicting the barrier to learning that reading can be to sufferers of dyslexia.

The path is laid in a decorative mosaic style: it includes jumbled letters in the ‘white’ garden, changing to clear words in the ‘yellow/blue’ garden. The path leads to a shallow blue glass water feature, which represents a lens used to focus or tint light.
