Thousands of plants, many of which were grown at the sister site Eden Project Cornwall, are being tended at a nursery in the town until construction is complete.
Among the plants that have arrived is a diverse mix of coastal and pollinator-friendly species alongside herbs and seasonal highlights like Gladiolus byzantinus.
Many were specifically selected for their ability to thrive in coastal environments, reflecting the ecology of Morecambe Bay and the long-term planting vision for the site.
The relocated planting will form the foundation of a 1.5-acre public community garden.
At its centre sits a solar-powered, shell-shaped canopy beneath which young people can learn horticulture, foraging, crafts and digital skills.
The garden – designed by award winning duo Harry Holding and Alex Michaelis – received a Silver-Gilt medal – the second-highest accolade awarded by RHS judges – and the Environmental Innovation Award, presented to just one garden each year.
