Designed with Frazer McNaughton for the International Festival at Chaumont-sur- Loire, France. The central image of the garden was a grid of over 1500 highly coloured vegetables planted in the form of an enormous tartan. This feature was seen through a viewing frame – ‘The Bothy’ – 28 individual boxes (supplied by a variety of Scottish artist, writers and musicians) reflecting a range of images relating to poverty, sectarianism and drug abuse.

Images include views of the Bothy looking across the ‘tartan’ vegetables; and a model of the garden.
