Galbraith's Alehouse Beer Garden

project

The design for Galbraith’s Alehouse celebrates the dynamic shifts of an English perennial garden, while grounding itself in Aotearoa. Recycled Auckland kerbstones and New Zealand natives are threaded into the plant palette, connecting the garden with the whenua. The garden pays homage to the history of the pub (originally the Grafton Public Library built in 1913), by telling a number of stories. Much like a book and a beer, the garden offers a sensory experience that changes through the seasons and welcomes patrons as flowers erupt in the spring.
