 [RHS Flower Show Tatton Park 2024](https://gardensdb.com/shows/rhs-flower-show-tatton-park-2024) - Career Changer

The Better New Build
====================

 The garden hopes to inspire new build homeowners and property developers to make more of their spaces and ditch environmentally damaging artificial grass. Gravel, in place of a lawn, is surrounded by plants for pollinators, native hedging – allowing birds to nest and feed – and two specimen trees, Acer davidii ‘Viper’ and a mulit-stem Crataegus prunifolia. Reclaimed slate fills the gabion seating, allowing insects to find a home, and reclaimed oak totems have specific holes drilled in for solitary bees. A section of fencing has a hole for hedgehogs to pass through, while a dual-level bespoke water feature, made from Corten steel and reclaimed stone boulders, adds an additional sensory element to the space.
