Inspired by the work that Pathway does to support people out of homelessness, the Pathway Garden is designed with interconnected spaces that create an open, inviting feel. Boulders intersect the first section of the path, symbolising the obstacles individuals often face on their journey toward a healthier and happier life.
A sheltered bench and pergola offer a place to rest, while the water feature invites quiet reflection, echoing the sentiments of Pathway’s lived experience volunteers, who view gardens as spaces for safety, recovery, and personal growth.
A key feature of the garden is the mycelium wall, made from recycled waste from last year’s flower show. This sustainable, innovative material symbolises the unseen networks and pathways in nature, representing how individuals who regain stability and health often in turn become supporters of others. By working together, they help create stronger communities and foster lasting, positive change, reflecting the ripple effect of Pathway's mission.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Pathway is the UK’s leading homeless and inclusion health charity. It exists to improve the health of people experiencing homelessness and other dimensions of severe social exclusion. It works extensively with and alongside the NHS and other partners to develop better models of care to meet the complex needs of vulnerable groups.
The Pathway Garden’s ultimate location will be at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, the location of one of Pathway’s specialist homeless healthcare teams. Here it will be used by patients affected by homelessness, along with staff and other patients of the hospital.
