Super Garden
The 'Bee Happy' Garden is inspired by a Honeybee honeycomb that was built in my own garden and got me thinking about the stunning honeycomb structure but more importantly the importance of the bees that built it and the necessity for garden owners to be considerate of pollinators when building beautiful outdoor spaces. The garden was designed to encourage biodiversity, sustainability and relaxation. It invites a variety of wildlife into the garden through the use of a range of natural materials, an abundance of flowering plants, a pollinating wildflower lawn, hexagonal bug hotels and lots of hiding places for habitat building. The garden also provides a serene and colourful extension to the home where people can explore, relax and take some well-deserved 'me' time. An all-weather polycarbonate covered pergola, trickling water feature, multiple seating areas, heavenly floral scents and a selection of fruiting plants to harvest and eat provide the perfect space for them to do this. The garden will grow with little explorers and a family can play and immerse themselves outside learning about the biodiversity that can be created in a small space away from screen time and daily stresses while having a wonderful space to relax and invite friends and family to ‘Bee Happy’.
