The brief for this garden was to provide a tranquil and secluded, plant-filled space for a newly retired person to garden and enjoy the wildlife. There are two seating areas, one in the full shade for hotter days, the other with space for dining. The pond has a trickling water feature and is home to a shoal of minnows. It is already attracting a variety of wildlife, including frogs and dragonflies. Bird boxes, feeders and bird baths are being well used; there is also an insect hotel, bee hive and hedgehog hibernation box, hiding amongst the planting.
