The RHS Peat-Free Garden by designer, writer, presenter and RHS Ambassador Arit Anderson<\/a> will feature more than 2000 annuals<\/a>, perennials<\/a>, shrubs<\/a> and trees sourced from peat-free growers. Growers supplying the garden include Golden Valley Plants and Rjinbeek alongside partners in the RHS Peat-Free Fellowship, Farplants and Hilliers.<\/p> You may also like<\/strong><\/p> The naturalistic planting of the garden will mimic an untouched peatland before moving into a recognisable domestic garden containing shady<\/a> and sun-loving<\/a> borders. All of the materials used in the design have been recycled, including a large greenhouse<\/a> which will be made using old windows, borrowed paving, old railway sleepers and a disused beehive that will become an insect hotel<\/a>. Two large water butts<\/a> will collect rainwater from the greenhouse and channel it into a wildlife-friendly water feature and rain garden.<\/p> Arit said: \u201cThe RHS Peat-Free Garden will be packed full of planting and design ideas gardeners can take home and apply on their own plot. I\u2019m incredibly proud of this peat-free show garden which I hope will help shine a light on the issue and empower gardeners and industry to help bring about change. However, I also recognise the challenges designers face with residual traces of peat found in plants and that\u2019s something the RHS is working hard to address.\u201d<\/p> You may also like<\/strong><\/p> Also at Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in July, Anya Lautenbach<\/a> (a.k.a @anya_thegarden_fairy) is creating ‘The Money Saving Garden’ which aims to show people how they can create beautiful gardens without spending heaps of cash. <\/p> Anya has joined forces with RHS Ambassador and plantsman Jamie Butterworth to create a garden that will showcase how to grow plants for free and save money in the garden. <\/p> Anya said: \u201cIf you have an existing, relatively mature garden you can create more than 300 plants a year through propagating. And that\u2019s without a greenhouse or specialist equipment \u2026 it\u2019s almost another whole garden for free!<\/p>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/c02.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/04\/The-RHS-Money-Saving-Garden-Anya-Lautenbach-Hampton-Court-Palace-2024-scaled.jpg\")
