Take a moment to revisit Cecilia Sandrini's stunning Beautiful Border 'This Nest Will Give You Wings', which captured a Gold Award spotlight at the Autumn Fair.

Designed for a child with sensory needs, the Border provided a place to hide amidst the soothing shades of green, courtesy of native birch and ferns. It served as a sanctuary, a place to reset and 'build a nest,' and a space where children could revel in the safety of their own domain.

Heartfelt congratulations to Cecilia, for her exceptional garden design.

With thanks to garden product suppliers, @rolawn, @hedgesdirect.co.uk, and @bradstoneuk
