Lindisfarne Gospel Garden, which won a silver gilt award at last year's Chelsea Flower Show, is to be recreated on Holy Island.
Inspired by the seventh Century Northumbrian Lindisfarne Gospels, the Newcastle City Council garden from the 2003 Chelsea Flower Show aims to attract more visitors to the historic island.
Receiving £25,000 from One NorthEast, delivered through Northumberland Strategic Partnership (NSP), the project has been able to meet the cost of reconstructing the garden.
Designed by BBC Radio Newcastle presenter Stan Timmins, the garden is one of the key Hotbed 2004 projects.
"Inspiration for this design stems from the Lindisfarne Gospels, which are regarded as one of the region's most valued treasures," said Stan.
"Presenting a gardening show and working as a landscape designer, I have a strong interest in horticultural issues and enjoyed the challenge of helping to create a design that truly reflects the colours and artistry used within the gospels.
"There will be easy access into the garden so that a wide range of visitors can enjoy the benefits it has to offer, including a sensory garden, gazebo and tranquil seating area.
"I hope that it will become a major attraction at Holy Island, providing gardening and spiritual inspiration for those that visit."
