As a beekeeper, it will incorporate one of our most beloved pollinators – the bee. A garden should bring joy, and this one is sure to delight, from the stained glass incorporated into the greenhouse with colour therapy and plant growth in mind, to hand-painted art by community artists adorning the glass, willow weavers UK-grown sustainable willow, blacksmith, carpenters, and community groups all working to showcase a small edible nectar-rich haven packed with rare, heritage, heirloom vegetables, and delicious nectar rich and wildlife-friendly blooms all grown in the UK. Every aspect has been carefully considered with sustainability and longevity in mind, recycling, reusing, and bridging the June Gap for pollinators and wildlife to provide vital nectar sources during the lull between spring and summer. The Nectary shall be showcasing flowers in all stages of growth, from full bloom through to seedpod stage, each stage beneficial to wildlife in our small and beautiful biodiverse greenspaces.
