The garden is part of a resilience campaign by Flood Re – a joint initiative between the government and insurers to make flood insurance cover for households more affordable.
Kelly Ostler-Coyle, of Flood Re, said: “We’re thrilled that the flood-resilient garden now has a permanent home, open and accessible to the wider public.
“Outdoor spaces like this are vital in providing a natural first line of defence against flooding.
“This garden demonstrates how thoughtful choices in plants and landscape design can offer both aesthetic value and tangible protection – helping to minimise physical damage and emotional strain when floods occur.”
Andy Brown, joint chief executive at HR Wallingford – which owns the site – said the garden “looks magnificent”.
“I am sure [it] will inspire everyone who visits, as well as providing a tranquil space for those that work here,” he said.
