Mediterranean Garden

The Garden was created in 2000 following a design competition with Oaklands College. It is designed to be low maintenance, drought resistant and to adapt to climate change and incorporates two petanque courts. Two of the original Cell Barnes Hospital benches have been restored and can now be found in the garden.

The garden was given a revamp in August 2024 with a locality grant from Hertfordshire County Council. The Highfield Helpers volunteer group carrying out the transformation.
