Wildflower Turf embraces nature at BBC Gardeners’ World Live

Award-winning Accredited Supplier Wildflower Turf is ‘embracing nature’ by sponsoring a show garden at next month’s BBC Gardeners’ World Live.

The Hampshire-based wildflower meadow specialists are supporting the Nature’s Embrace garden at the show, to be held at the NEC Birmingham from 13 to 16 June.

Becky Sibley, Director of Wild Thyme Designs, has created the garden to demonstrate the potential of small garden spaces and how they can be used as catalysts for building a sense of community.

The Nature’s Embrace garden has been designed to nurture a child’s love for nature through curiosity and imagination during play. Wildflower Turf is supplying its Native Enriched Wildflower Turf® to create a space that will encourage children to go on an adventure. It includes a den, wooden beams and a tunnel, set amongst trees and wildflowers. Native Enriched Wildflower Turf® includes Vipers Burgloss, Betony and Lady’s Bedstraw.

Becky said:

"Having Wildflower Turf as a sponsor is a great match. The Native Enriched Wildflower Turf® allowed me to create the perfect setting for the Nature’s Embrace garden. Embracing nature at an early age brings a deeper connection to our natural environment and supports positive physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. By embracing nature, it in turn embraces us."

Wildflower Turf MD, James Hewetson-Brown said:

"It’s very exciting to be a sponsor for the Nature’s Embrace garden at the popular BBC Gardeners’ World Live show. Our Native Enriched Wildflower Turf® contains more than 53 species which not only creates a perfect habitat for wildlife, but also provides an array of colours and textures, allowing Becky to devise an inspirational garden which is perfect for families to enjoy. It conveys the message that whatever size of garden, they are green spaces for people of all ages to come together, learn and enjoy the shared experience, and we are delighted to be part of that."

After the show, Wild Thyme Designs will be relocating elements of the garden to a care home in Chippenham for the residents to enjoy.
