About this garden

The story

The Golden Garden celebrates the rich possibilities of yellow in our gardens. This vibrant, cheerful colour is often overlooked by gardeners who find it tricky to mix into their planting schemes. However, this misses out on so many wonderful plants, many of which are magnets for butterflies, bees and other pollinators. So, we're setting out to show how you can combine the analogous hues of yellow-orange, yellow and yellow-green to create a joyful, wildlife-friendly space. The addition of bee posts, a log pile and a bird bath make the garden a stylish haven for wildlife.
