About this garden

The story

The Bringing Nature Home exhibit invites gardeners to enjoy, engage with and enhance their garden habitats for biodiversity. Exploring the most up-to-date sustainable gardening research and advice, interactive displays will encourage visitors to record twelve RHS wildlife wonder plants on a digital map and explore the latest innovations on the award winning RHS Grow app.

Inspired by a row of terraced houses the exhibit has a central wooden structure, with a homely hallway interior decorated with house plants, books and nature-inspired artwork. Reclaimed windows are suspended from the structure, through which the stunning planting areas are viewed. External planting areas are reminiscent of neighbouring gardens, separate but interconnected by nature.

Interpretation provides evidence-based practical advice on each planting area. By choosing plants suitable for your unique garden, that are both great for wildlife and resilient, will result in a beautiful, healthy garden habitat - helping to truly bring nature home!
