“to create a place of beauty and a haven for people and wildlife”

Other Gardens

We decided to plant a butterfly garden as part of the wildlife activity morning in March 2007 after some over-mature buddleia blew down in a storm earlier in the year.

A ‘Dirty Afternoon’ sponsored by the BBC’s Breathing Places initiative gave us the opportunity to plant a bog garden June 2010…

… and meanwhile the Sefton Rangers helped us to build a rockery

Inspired by Landlife, the national wildflower charity in Merseyside, we used left over rubble and brick ‘fines’ [crushed brick of up to 5mm – like coarse sand] to provide the base for a perennial wildflower meadow in 2009.

We created a garden for reflection at the far end of our car park in August 2009, and included lots of plants which are attractive to bees and butterflies.
