Bursting with wildflowers and ornamentals, the garden reveals how any space can contribute to the network increasing flower abundance and habitat for bee resilience. Ribbons of Linaria purpurea (purple toadflax) and Salvia ‘Carradonna’ weave across the garden, while a bee friendly mosaic structure incorporates drought tolerant plants such as Verbascum thapas (great mullein), Daucus carota (wild carrot) and Eryngium planum ‘Blue hobbit’ (blue eryngo) to more typical herbaceous mixed-border style planting with plants such as Digitalis ferruginea ‘Gelber Herold’ (rusty foxglove), oregano and yarrow. Sculptural bee towers, cob nesting material and bare ground add essential nesting habitat for an array of bee species.
