About this garden

The story

Many people do not have access to acres of land to create their own wildflower meadow to support local wildlife. However, most do have access to a doorstep, balcony or garden space where British native plants can be incorporated, creating wildlife corridors between urban areas and the countryside.

With a combination of native plants and wildflowers along with cultivated varieties, The Chorley Council: Wild & Tended Garden inspires a balanced approach to planting design with vibrancy as nature intended. With a wildlife pool made from upcycled materials the garden creates further habitats for amphibious and aquatic life under the dappled canopy of native shrubs, providing shade and shelter in a warming climate.
