During the British Ceramics Biennial 2013, AirSpace Gallery renovated a slice of the garden, attached to the Spode China Hall, off Kingsway, Stoke, to act as a physical proposal for the renovation of the entire space. Then, in 2015, we returned to renovate a new segment, plus introduce over 30 newly developed real Spode China Roses to the site. The proposition's intent was meant as an example of what could be the future for the space, and was meant as a way of gathering support and interest to raise the funding and resources and build the necessary partnerships to see the full space renovated by 2017.

Now, having been fully open to the public since 2017, The Spode Rose Garden is moving onto its next phase - a 12-month multi-faceted development project entitled THE LIVING GARDEN, delivered by Anna Francis.
