What else could we remember on this chilly day tha

What else could we remember on this chilly day than the Gold Award winning 'Our Brewable Border' from Autumn Fair?

Designed by Anna Johnston and Charlotte Seers, Historic and Botanic Gardens Training Programme Trainees, it was inspired by Victorian tea traditions at Audley End and the team's love for gardening tea breaks.

The space celebrated plants used in teas and tisanes, helping visitors discover how foliage, roots, and flowers create delightful concoctions. It was also a wonderful sensory escape with wild, potted plants, and space to learn how to craft your own 'drinkable' garden in a low-maintenance space at home 🌼✨

Congratulations, Anna and Charlotte!

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.
