cambridge wildlife & kitchen garden
Cherry Hinton, Cambridge
May - June 2024
As well as including a productive kitchen garden the clients’ were keen for their garden to also support wildlife.
This garden design will support wildlife through:
Planting five Betula Pendula - Native Silver Birch trees are one of the best trees for wildlife providing food and habitat for over 300 insect species
Wildlife pond - 5 metres in diameter - will attach a myriad of creatures from whirligig beetles, pond skaters and birds to damsel and dragonflies, frogs and potentially newts
The new gravel garden and planting beds will be planted with a long succession of pollinating plants, flowering from early spring into the depths of winter to support bees and other pollinators
