The field began as an extension of Potter’s House and time spent in Mallorca. Creating a garden on the island offered an opportunity to understand the landscape, to experiment and to observe how certain plants would behave given different levels of interaction. Seeing these plants develop through the seasons provides insights that inform and enrich other projects in the studio.

As it has developed, the field has become a place for gardeners to visit, work together and share knowledge. We would like to build this community through discussion with experts, particularly with reference to expanding sustainable techniques of managing a Mediterranean garden.

The field is now in a transitional stage, as we define how best to shape its future evolution. The vision remains of a garden that can sustain itself and develop into full maturity with minimal intervention, whilst also being a place for learning and for shared experience.
