Share my space with nature A garden that encourages wildlife can also be beautiful, and easy to create and maintain.  This border shows two styles of garden that can be shared with nature, one shady and the other dry, sunny and drought tolerant.  Shade is created by small trees that also provide food and habitat for birds and insects. This is underplanted with ferns and shade-loving plants, giving ground cover for invertebrates which in turn supply food for birds and small mammals. The dry area includes flowers and sub-shrubs that are sources of pollen and nectar for insects whilst their seeds are food for birds in winter.  Designed by  Carleen Osborne 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.

Nature's Embrace The “Nature’s Embrace” garden encourages nurturing a child’s love for nature found through curiosity and imagination during play. Making a den; balancing along wooden beams; crawling through a tunnel or going on an adventure. Embracing nature at an early age brings a deeper connection to our natural environment and supports positive physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Under the dappled light, amongst the flora and fauna, the garden is a space to be shared with all the family; creating new memories whilst also being evocative of childhood nostalgia. By embracing nature, it in turn embraces us.  Designed by  Becky SibleyWild Thyme Designs Ltd 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.

A Plot Amongst the Chickens Keeping chickens does not need acres of land and it can be achieved in smaller spaces, including gardens and allotments. I wanted to show how this can be possible in an allotment setting, where the garden and the chickens work together to bring great produce and a fantastic source of composting material. The sound of chickens clucking in the background relieves stress and boosts mental health.  Designed by  Benjamin Shutler 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.

Escaping seasons of the mind Awarded Silver, designed by Lilidh Matthews & John Tallis, Built by Outdoor Living Gardens in support of the charity Perennial The garden depicts the escape of the mind and home into the garden and is a depiction of emotions through the seasons. The design is centred around two facts: that the majority of suicides happen in the autumn, and that humans spend 90% of their life indoors.The centre of the design from above is designed to look like a clock / compass representing the passing and also the value of time. This space is designed to be a void, a space of internal reflection. The planting is designed to be uniform and ordered by using block planting. Using herbs also links the space to the kitchen too creating the thought of ‘the indoors’. The well itself depicts a place of reflection. Around the well and around the centre of the garden, there will be two rings for the inclusion of the quote. I have some ideas for this that I am working on.Autumn:The top left corner of the design represents autumn which is where the designers started, based on the above fact regarding suicides. The landscaping is designed to create a feeling of overwhelm, with the highest point in the wall and the highest point for the Corten steel pillars. The planting colours represent a lot of typical autumn colours, which are also used to represent feelings of anger. Additionally the central sandstone paving is at its most fragmented, illustrating the self-doubt and fractures in mindset when you are cut off from the outdoors.Winter:The planting is designed to represent the colour of the season (blues) utilising spikey plants too which illustrate how the garden is perceived at this time of year with not enough people spending time out there. The height of the Corten steel posts and the outer wall all start to reduce in height as the hope of spring beings to change the mindset.Spring:This is the lowest point of the wall and the end of the Corten steel posts, where it feels like the grip of the corten steel claw is beginning to release. The bright yellows also relate to the bright yellow of daffodils which many represent with Spring or Easter, the first big holiday of the year where new life is everywhere. Summer:The summer segment will be lined with a hedge, to present the main vista for the public into the garden. There are no Corten steel posts and the sandstone paving is unified, as this season tends to be one where we spend the most time in nature. The garden is designed to hold a shadow message that links the dangers of not spending time working on your own mental health whilst also encouraging the public to spend more intentional time outdoors, not just in the summer but throughout the whole year in order to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

Love yourself & nature retreat Small garden, or challenging space? No problem! The Beautiful Borders are always awash with take-home ideas to help you squeeze the most into your garden. Find out more about the Border below, designed by Ben Thornton. Designed by Ben Thornton, awarded Platinum The Love Yourself & Nature Retreat is inspired by Ben Thornton’s, aka ‘The Young Grower’s’, journey of healing the mind and body by creating an area to retreat to away from the outside world to enjoy the wonders of nature. Bursting at the seams full of flowers with colours blending together like a painting alongside growing organic produce, creating a wildlife haven and allowing you to love yourself at the same time. Being physically disadvantaged does not mean you cannot have the garden of your dreams. Ben’s garden escape showcases his lifechanging journey of becoming a grower. Growing has truly changed his life and has given him a life he never thought he could have after becoming paralysed at the age of 14 from a very rare illness.The Love Yourself & Nature Retreat will be full of vibrant colours with a calm area to retreat to away from the outside world to enjoy the wonders of nature. With a busy border, bursting at the seams full of flowers and colours blending together like a painting, surrounding edible raised beds creating a wildlife haven whilst allowing you to love yourself at the same time. This garden shows that no matter your circumstances, you can grow. Ben’s allotment and love for growing has not only been a hobby but a kind of therapy both mentally and physically. Ben will bring a small part of his No Dig organic garden to those that need inspiration the most and showcase how a garden can heal your body and mind whilst simultaneously creating a space to escape. When Ben started growing he had limited mobility from becoming paralysed at the age of 14. Within a year of having his allotment his body started to come back to life. By letting nature in, Ben has embarked upon a journey of healing in more ways than he could have imagined. We can’t wait to see the garden bloom into life at the Show in June!
