Here we are very much now on the run-up to the 2023 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Regular readers will know I am immensely fond of this show and see it as one of the great gardening highlights of the year. This year Martyn Wilson, of Wilson Associates Garden Design, is designing a garden for the RSPCA which will be 200 years old next year. Well I was not going to let the opportunity pass me by so I asked if Martyn would like to answer 'The Questions' and he very kindly said yes.
But first more about the garden. The garden is designed to be a sanctuary for people and animals. It is a calm safe space, where things are considered such as the alarming amount of animals that are trapped and injured by litter every year. The garden features a water feature that uses recycled litter to represent the work undertaken by the four specialist wildlife centres the RSPCA run. Other elements in the garden create habitats for animals and birds, such as nesting boxes and hedging.
Once the show is over the garden will move to the RSPCA's Stapely Grange Wildlife Centre in Nantwich in time to be opened next year as part of the 200th anniversary celebrations. I do wish the garden well at the show and I really looking forward to see it when it is completed.
A huge thank you to Martyn for taking part in answering The Questions.
Take care and be kind
