 [BBC Gardeners' World Live 2025](https://gardensdb.com/shows/bbc-gardeners-world-live-2025) - Beautiful Borders

To be or not to be
==================

 Border

 In the busyness of life, how can we find space and time to connect with others and with nature, to pause and observe, and just ‘to be’? ‘To be or not to be’ is a garden where people, words and nature combine. To access the calm and beautiful central space, we must first enter a narrow path, rough with overgrown plants and debris. INspiring words and beautiful plants lead us on to an oasis of healing and connectivity - a place to pause and enjoy. We leave the garden feeling restored, energised, purposeful.
