Becky’s Garden
Becky has changed gardens several times in the last few years due to changes in personal circumstances. But, she has created a garden everywhere she goes. The garden that she has nowadays is a new-build property garden. When she moved in December 2022, it was a blank canvas. Becky has planted the garden and created a haven for wildlife using a mix of perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs and vegetables.
The garden went from being devoid of life – including plants – to being filled with the buzz of bees and chatter of birds in under a year. Becky now has three resident hedgehogs and a squirrel. Follow her Instagram page for more frequent updates on this garden.
