RHS Britain in Bloom 60th Anniversary: The Friendship Garden
============================================================

 Large Show Garden

 The Friendship Garden commemorates RHS Britain in Bloom’s 60th Anniversary and celebrates the relationships that form when people garden together in their communities. Over the last six decades, Bloom has positively affected the lives of millions of people, transforming villages, towns and cities, creating accessible communal green spaces and supporting local wildlife. The garden creates a space where people can come together to appreciate the taste, scent, sounds and visual impact of the garden and make new connections at a ‘friendship bench’. The planting demonstrates the value of native and British-grown plants, with peat-free compost and minimal use of chemicals. Wildflower plantings and beehives increase biodiversity and all the structures in the garden are sustainable, using readily accessible recycled materials. Art placed throughout the space celebrates a sense of place, heritage, and culture.
