The Forgotten Folly

We are delighted to announce we have been awarded a silver gilt medal for our garden at Hampton ct flower show.

This is a garden where nature has been allowed to reclaim some space. An old romantic folly, native planting, dry stone walls, waterfalls and streams all integrate and harmonise with each other to create an oasis for the British native plants and wildlife.

Nature takes over in and around the old forgotten folly creating a natural habitat for wildlife, our native wildflower and their cultivars. In contrast the old cottage garden shows how you can combine the hybrid plants we all love in our gardens with some native wild flower and their cultivars.

We will plant the garden to encourage the wildlife and allow nature to attract and sustain wildlife naturally, giving it space to live and breathe

We are inspired by the constant beauty of nature, to create a home for our precious wildlife and native flowers, a natural biodiversity.

We have also involved our local primary school to help us grow and create this natural environment whilst supporting them in creating their own conservation and wildlife area.

By involving the children they are learning, as well as having a better understanding, of how important these areas are to the environment and they are having great fun in the process! They are all so excited to be involved in the show.

We also hope to relocate some of the plants from the show to our local primary school for their conservation and wildlife area where the children are learning, with enthusiasm, how important it is to protect our natural world
