38 6 Elements to bring your


garden to life! There’s around 4,330km2 of garden in the UK. They’re an extremely valuable space to encourage biodiversity and connect people to the outdoors – especially as more species disappear from the landscape. The benefits of spending time in the garden are well


documented, and with rising costs producing food in our outdoor spaces is increasingly appealing. I’ve been working with people in their gardens for over 15


years. Over that time, I’ve consistently pinpointed 6 elements that help bring a garden to life! SOIL – the foundation of a healthy garden WATER – the sustainer of growth and resilience WILDFLOWERS – the bedrock to supporting wildlife PLANTING – the expression of diversity and design WILD EDGES – the space where nature leads us YOU – the one that helps to bring it all together The great thing is that these elements are the same regardless of the size of your garden. Not all the elements have to be present but the more that are, the more life is supported. There’s so much information out there and it’s often conflicting and confusing. My main aim is to help simplify all this to bring your garden to life! That is why I offer an in- person consultation service to help you find clarity and move your garden in the direction you choose, using the 6 elements as a foundation.
