The workbench is a bar of glass jars and gravel, light spilling through a Stable Yard window onto green hands at work. Inside a compact shop in Cirencester you’ll arrange layers of sand, charcoal, soil and a small plant until the jar feels like its own tiny weather system — moss reclining, pebbles lending a shore.
