The Homebase garden is a modern family garden that has been designed with a small
family in mind, providing them with a space to enjoy an everyday connection with their food
and with nature. The garden provides much for the family-somewhere they can garden, relax and entertain whilst also providing a habitat to encourage wildlife. The garden aims to provide an environment to help a younger generation understand the natural world. It will be a sustainable space, providing a wildlife corridor as well as a place where people can be together, garden together and cook together-
all helping to create great memories.
The planting will be developed to demonstrate a specific way of gardening, showing how
edibles can be inter planted with ornamentals to provide a beautiful space. The garden is
wrapped on two sides with cratagus hedging, which not only provides great seasonal interest
but a superb habitat for a range of wildlife.
