 [BBC Gardeners' World Live 2025](https://gardensdb.com/shows/bbc-gardeners-world-live-2025) - Beautiful Borders

Connecting with nature: a sustainable haven for wildlife
========================================================

 Border

 Inspired by my own garden, I believe creating a wildlife-friendly space can be simple, rewarding. and sustainable. As UK habitats continue to shrink, our gardens can become vital sanctuaries for wildlife. With hardy perennials that thrive year-round, plus features like bug hotels, log piles and a small pond, this border provides food, shelter, and nesting spots for pollinators and beyond. I hope this garden inspires others to create their own wildlife-friendly havens - places buzzing with life and filled with the joy of reconnecting with nature, right on our doorsteps!
