‘Welcoming Wildlife’ offers a new perspective on how we can share our gardens with wildlife, especially hedgehogs. Inspired by my mother’s enduring passion for these endangered creatures, this garden serves as a model for how we can all encourage and support these lovable animals in our own spaces.

The planting follows a loose, naturalistic colour scheme with soft purples, pinks, blues, and pops of warm yellow. The theme centres on creating a relaxed, wildlife-friendly aesthetic—prioritising plants that support hedgehogs, while embracing a less formal, more ecologically generous approach to garden design.
This garden was awarded a silver-gilt medal from the RHS judges and won the ‘Peoples Choice” award. This garden also featured on Gardener's World (episode 16, 2025).
