We've had an exciting start to our weekend at BBC Gardeners' World Live, with a 'Silver Merit' award in the Showcase Garden category.

The judges commented on the fact our Ecotalk Rooted in Nature garden was 'packed with ways to help nature thrive', alongside inspiring ideas to grow your own food. The award is testament to the hard work of the garden team and designers Emma O'Neill, our head gardener, and Chris Collins, our head of organic horticulture.

You can read more about our garden here and vote for it it in the People's Choice award here! Come and see our garden for yourself between 12-15 June, at stand GA2 and G213. Purchase tickets here.

A huge thank you to all our sponsors and supporters, who have made the garden possible, including Ecotalk, Viridian Nutrition, Everedge, Evengreener, Breedon Aggregates and Rolawn.

Special thanks to Wildwater for creating our beautiful pond, Melcourt for its high-quality peat-free compost and The Wildlife Community for the amazing giant bug hotel (which you can win at the show).
