Moon Arch

A stone portal framing the Reflection lodge housing the wind telephone, symbolising transition and the journey beyond.

The 2025 RHS Malvern garden featured a moon arch made from reclaimed stone, framing the wind telephone as a place for reflection. Inspired by ancient stone structures, the arch represents a threshold, signifying both the transition between this world and the next, and the cyclical nature of life. The moon, often associated with the rhythms of time and reflection, provides a gentle, luminous metaphor for the journey of remembrance. At RHS Malvern, visitors passed under the arch, they are invited to leave behind their worries and to enter a space of calm contemplation.
