Wildlife habitats are designed into the structure of a garden, using building waste, reclaimed material and untreated timbers. A watercourse meanders through the plot towards a central pond and a section of bog planting. A pavilion, designed in conjunction with designer and TV presenter Charlie Luxton, is topped with a living roof to provide a calm space to enjoy the diverse species living in the garden’s varied habitats. Cultivated plants provide pollen and nectar for insects and native plants feed the larvae of butterflies, moths and other invertebrates. Key species include hawthorn, ivy, nettles, blackthorn and cow parsley.
