This is a garden of two sides, designed by young people for young people. On one side the garden tells a sad story of neglect and despair, reflecting how weeds, rubbish and dogs can affect our estates. On the other side, the garden is well maintained (whilst being low maintenance). The lawn is the perfect spot to sit and play games during long, hot summers and there is a cosy corner for relaxing, doing homework or chilling out with friends in the fresh air. The flower border, with its bug homes and feeders, is designed to attract wildlife, and splashes of summer colour mixed with evergreen phormiums and hebes form a structured planting scheme designed for year-round interest. The herb pots are ideal for cooking and pudding can be picked fresh from the baskets. Great homes, great neighbourhoods, great people and now great gardens!
