Today’s #ShowGardenSunday is all about a contemporary space designed for city gardeners with limited time to tend the garden.

Designed by Gunns & Roses, this garden from last year's BBC Gardeners' World Live Special Edition used brutalist materials as a reflection of Britain’s manufacturing history and was a celebration of the beauty that can be found in large concrete buildings.

A dense herbaceous border and textural delicate planting contrasted with the brutality of the hard-landscaping materials to create a minimalistic white and green calming atmosphere.

Carpe diem means ‘seize the day’ and its certainly what plants do.

This #TBT we’re taking a look back at Laura Keating’s Carpe Diem Beautiful Border from #BBCGWL Special Edition.

Filled with flowers like daisies and sunflowers which move with the sun, thousands of tin can lids lined the bed and decorated the sundial, reflecting light like solar panels. Many people saved up their tin lids, showing how small actions can add up and be a positive force.

It's not too late to apply for a Beautiful Border at the 2022 Show! Find out more about applying - link in bio.

Do you know a school in the Midlands who'd like to

Do you know a school in the Midlands who'd like to get involved at #BBCGWLive? For this year's school wheelbarrow competition, to celebrate the Commonwealth Games coming to Birmingham, each participating school will plant up a barrow to represent one of the Commonwealth Countries!

The challenge? To plant up a wheelbarrow with inspiration drawn from the local flora and fauna, garden styles, national heritage, cuisine and culture, to be enjoyed by our tens of thousands of BBC Gardeners' World Live visitors.

This competition is open to schools in the Midlands only due to the logistics of collection/delivery of the barrows. Entry is free and participating schools get an allocation of free tickets to the Show.

This #BlueMonday we're looking back to the brilliant blue hues found in the gardens at #BBCGWLive Special Edition.

Spending time in the garden is the perfect way to relax and unwind for many of us. Now is the time to get planting blue flowers and bulbs to create a tranquil and calming display for spring and summer.

This year the Pantone Colour of the Year is 'Very Peri'. Considered the ‘happiest and warmest of all the blue hues’, Pantone describes Very Peri as a ‘dynamic periwinkle-blue hue with vivifying violet-red undertones’, which makes it perfect for a calming garden designed for thoughtfulness, personal inventiveness and creative thinking.

In terms of picking out plants for your garden in 2022’s trendiest hue, there is so much to choose from. Here are eight examples found at #BBCGWLive 2021 that cover the spectrum and would give your garden the Very Peri seal of approval! 💜

You can read all about how you can incorporate it into your gardens in our blog! Link in bio.

It’s Show Garden Sunday and we’re pedalling back to the brilliant On Your Bike! Garden designed by @secrets_of_the_garden and @armstronglandscapes at BBC Gardeners’ World Live Special Edition. Pictured here with #GardenersWorld presenter Adam Frost.

Packed with ideas of how to design a space for a cycling enthusiast, the garden was full of recycling, upcycling, and cycling concepts and colourful planting.

From the fences, velodrome racing track, to the beautifully unique cog, sprocket and chain perennials, this garden certainly got the cogs turning for many visitors.
