The Moonshadow Moth Garden is supporting the charity The Wild Flower Conservation Society and it explores the theme of resilience with a day-to-night garden that supports and celebrates the unsung nocturnal heroes of pollination: moths. It contains a diverse range of plants in a pocket-sized space.
Soft, moonlight-white meadow planting, rich in nectar contrasts with the green canopy of a native tree. At the heart of the garden is a humane ‘moth trap’, a striking focal point that brings the drama of the night into the daytime.
There are 2,500 species of moths in Britain, but their numbers have declined by 28% since the 60s. The design encourages gardeners to consider how planting with moths in mind can help strengthen their garden's ecosystem and its resilience.
