The 'Nature Enthusiast's Garden'

The Nature Enthusiast's Garden

Nature enthusiasts of all ages will love this south-west facing garden that is a haven for wildlife. The garden is planted in Jane’s signature natural, organic style, with a wildflower grass area and pollinator-friendly flowers. The shrubs and flowers have been selected to encourage birds, bees and other insects making this space a haven for nature lovers.

‘People often think that a natural garden has to look uncared for but that is not the case. You can add form and function and still achieve a natural style,’ reveals landscape architect, Jane McCorkell.  This garden has been designed for a family of nature enthusiasts and will suit every age group, she says. ‘Young kids will love the hedgehog house and strawberry pallet wall while older children and teenagers will appreciate the easy-access bike storage and the outside room which can be transformed into a den or home office as the need arises.’
