A Norfolk business has been invited to build a garden at the Sandringham Flower Show.
Natural Surroundings, based on the Bayfield Estate near Holt, has been asked to contribute a garden to the Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) Sandringham Flower Show, which runs from July 22 to 26.
The garden, designed by Anne Harrap, the founder and co-owner of Natural Surroundings, is being built with the help of volunteers.
The show garden is titled Just Flowers, Bees n’Things: High Summer at Natural Surroundings.
It aims to demonstrate that gardens can be both beautiful and filled with wildlife.
The garden will feature informal, naturalistic planting, including native wildflowers such as purple loosestrife, hemp agrimony, and wild marjoram.
These flowers mirror the meadows alongside the River Glaven at Natural Surroundings.
The garden also includes a circular courtyard of troughs and a micro pond, planted with some of Ms Harrap’s special plants.
The garden aims to reflect the message that the more and greater variety of plants grown, the more wildlife is attracted.
Natural Surroundings was founded in 1989 by Ms Harrap to promote wildlife-friendly gardening.
Natural Surroundings’ gardens are now full of flowers and attract a wide range of wildlife, from 30 species of butterfly to more than 950 species of moth.
