Garden Organic Backyard Biodiversity Garden
The organic gardening charity ’ s head gardener Emma O ’ Neill has designed a new biodiverse show garden for 2023 , which brings together biodiversity-boosting elements and ideas to help gardeners welcome more wildlife into their back gardens .
The garden includes sensational sustainable zones to maximise wildlife and mitigate climate change . A dry , gravel garden is planted with drought-tolerant plants such as silver-leaved perennials and grasses . The idea of a ‘ weed ’ is reimagined with a pond surrounded by beneficial plants such as dead nettles and dandelions , and a perennial vegetable bed demonstrates how low maintenance , long-lasting plants allow gardeners to extend the harvest .
