Designed in 2019 by Andrew Laidlaw, the Garden for Life displays a range of species that provide food, shelter, fabric, medicinal and building properties that are critical to life on earth.  

Situated where the fauna enclosure once stood, the Garden for Life has become a new focal point for the community and visitors to the Gardens. Integral to the design, and as a drawcard to the Gardens, a zero-depth water play area has been created.
