About this garden

The story

Lifted by Birds is a peaceful, nature‑rich garden designed to support British birdlife. It brings together habitats like meadow edges, woodland areas, wetlands, stone features and quiet sheltered spots. These spaces give birds places to feed, nest, rest and move safely through the garden. Visitors can watch birds in their natural behaviour, from blackbirds searching the ground to blue tits finding insects in branches or wrens stopping for water. The garden is set out like a rural cottage landscape and offers a calming place to slow down, notice wildlife and reconnect with nature.
