Five unique features of this wildlife-focussed garden:
1. The pond sits right next to the house with stepping stones to cross into the rest of the garden, creating a connection with the water from the very start of the garden
2. The meandering paths behind the pond area are laid with local Horsham stone, interplanted with babies tears, creeping thyme and Erigeron
3. We kept the bees! A thriving bee colony wasn’t touched during the whole design and build process
4. The pond is beached at both ends creating easy access points for pond life and other creatures popping in for a drink
5. The planting design is full of native plants and areas that benefit a variety of wildlife, like hiding places around the water’s edge
