We shouldn’t fight against our garden, we should work with it and this RHS Feature Garden showcases how you can work with your space to create a happy and healthy garden. The layout of the garden is inspired by the rays of the sun, flooding out into the open from a central shaded circle. Subtle links to our industrial past link the garden firmly to Yorkshire. Visitors can walk freely through the garden, moving through planting archetypes, from full sun to shade. Explore how elements such as aspect, soil, changes in topography or moisture can be worked with to create a beautiful garden at home.
The garden links closely to Biggins Hill Studio, who strive to bring horticulture and design together, creating unique gardens working with their inherent qualities.
Plants will showcase the theme of the garden, to work with what you have and what is available to you. Plants will be selected from local nurseries.
Key plants include: Aralia cordata (Japanese spikenard), Echinacea pallida (pale purple coneflower), Allium ‘Lavender bubbles’, Dahlia merckii, Sesleria ‘Summer skies’ (moor grass).
