The Humble-Bee Gardeners are building their first RHS Malvern Flower Show Garden in partnership with the Herefordshire Wildlife Trust.

The design champions regenerative gardening that aims to create a harmony between use, function, reduced maintenance and habitat creation in a domestic garden.

This is designed to be part of a rural garden surrounded by agricultural land and as an antitheses of the farmed land and monocultures. Soil regeneration is prioritised along with habitat creation, wildlife corridors, edible shrubs and trees for us and nature, productive gardening mixed in with the "formal" border and water recycling and storage.

They hope to challenge peoples image of a garden, particularly with new developments, and contribute to a growth in re-wilding projects domestically, re-establishing habitats and opening up our gardens to let nature and wildlife in to benefit the local environment and ourselves in turn.

Now more than ever, we need to look to ourselves to take control of our own physical and mental well being, recycling of our own waste and growing our own food. The stability and wellbeing that self sufficiency brings is a powerful tool that benefits us and supports our communities, protecting local biodiversity and wildlife for our children's futures.

They are working hard at making this design a reality and would appreciate any and all donations towards material, labour, machinery and transport costs. They know it is a financially difficult time for many and your contributions would mean the world to them if you are able to give. If you are unable to give, your support can be shown by sharing this podcast with others. 

They believe firmly that presenting this design to the public will help build awareness of the huge potential within our combined domestic spaces and that the future of gardens can make a huge difference to ourselves, communities and wildlife.
