 [RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse 2025](https://gardensdb.com/shows/rhs-flower-show-wentworth-woodhouse-2025) - Long Borders

Safe Haven
==========

 Border

This border is inspired by the 'butterfly gardens' jointly created by a number of children's charities for families suffering unimaginable loss. Designed as a pocket of calm amid the surrounding hustle and bustle, the space not only soothes the soul but also provides for pollinators, specifically butterflies, numbers of which are in worrying decline. A simple sleeper bench, with bark mulch to the base, dominates the space, while three obelisk features support climbing plants to add a sense of height to the scheme. Beneath these, the pollinator-friendly planting, which includes species of Lavandula (lavender) and Hebe, is full of colour. Butterfly boxes, positioned throughout the border, provide shelter.
