The butterfly sanctuary garden has been designed to be a garden to attract butterflies and to be a retreat and calming space for the people using it.

​

The clients for this garden are a professional couple with two children.  They both predominantly work from home.  This garden is a section of their back garden which they wanted to give over to biodiversity.  The rest of the garden is mainly lawn and patio which they wanted to retain as somewhere for the children to play and a social area for family and friends.  

 

The materials chosen for the garden are low carbon and environmentally friendly.  The decking and cladding for the garden room are made from thermo ash which is heat treated so no chemicals are used in its production. 

 

The show garden is also designed to show members of the public how they can use butterfly friendly plants to create a beautiful garden that also supports biodiversity.
