Everyone Needs Good Neighbours

“‘Everyone Needs Good Neighbours’ focuses on two neighbours who have adjacent rear gardens.

They have used this proximity to their advantage by forming a meandering gravel pathway that traverses the boundary between the gardens and means they can easily access each other’s space in order to enjoy the garden on the other side as well as to help each other with tasks such as watering, exchange produce and plants, share regular cups of tea (or something stronger) and even BBQ together !!

The planting in the border includes a wide range of plants including trees, shrubs, perennials, ferns, herbs and annuals with a limited colour palette based on white and yellow flowers.

The theme of 2024 is ‘Share my Space.’ The theme is all about harnessing the potential of small garden spaces and using them as catalysts for building a sense of community through gardening. Our gardens, no matter how big or small, are spaces we can come together, learn from one another and cultivate a shared green oasis.
