Creature Comforts RHS Young Designer of the Year finalist Caitlin McLaughlin explains what to include to make your garden pollinator-friendly Sponsored by WT Supplement Create habitats within the garden design – don’t leave thinking about pollinators until after the garden is finished, build in spaces for them to nest as part of the layout. This way wildlife becomes a key aspect of the garden rather than an afterthought. Create sculptures as habitats – a habitat wall or solitary bee nest need not be a rustic, messy space at the back of the garden. Incorporate Green & Blue Bee Bricks or Bee Posts for sleek grey habitats in your garden, or build your own to suit your style. Our show garden features a freestanding hexagon sculpture that also acts as a habitat for solitary bees, mixing together art, design, and nature in one space. Think about your material choices – if you are creating a contemporary garden using grey sandstone tiles, why not use these to create bumblebee homes as well. The nest underground needs to be straw lined, but the top of the nest can be contemporary stone, or in the case of my RHS Hampton Court garden, custom made tiles with copper inlaid bee silhouettes, making sure nature features are functional and also high design. Water – help keep the pollinators in your garden hydrated by providing a shallow pond or water bowl for them. using metal tanks or powder-coated water bowls create contemporary features in your garden that also help the bees. Plan your planting with pollinators in mind – there are so many perennials, shrubs and trees that help bees so, regardless of your garden style, you will be able to find options that suit you and nature. See Caitlin’s garden, The urban Pollinator Garden, at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, from 1-7 <strong>July</strong>. The project fuses design, function and wildlifefriendly value to focus on pollination with planting that encourages pollinators to thrive. Tickets to the Festival start at £20 rhs.org. uk/shows-events/rhs-hamptoncourt-palace-garden-festival Tropical Vibes Rhipsalis cassutha (common name: Mistletoe Cactus) This is an unusual jungle cactus which is a gorgeous bright green colour and has delicate stems with a cascading shape. The name Rhipsalis comes from the Greek word for wicker work. It is an epiphyte and in the wild it grows attached to the trunks of trees. It is easy to care for as it requires minimal watering over the autumn and winter and just a weekly water during the spring and summer when it is actively growing. It’s ideal for a kitchen or bathroom as it will enjoy the humidity, but will be happy in any room with bright indirect sunlight. Care tip: allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings, but keep the subsoil evenly moist. Add a liquid cactus feed to the water once a month when the plant is actively growing. Christine Bartlett, Shop Manager at that little plant shop... picks three of her favourite exotic houseplants Stromanthe Triostar (common name: prayer plant) This is a really stunning exotic houseplant which has variegated leaves in cream, green and pink colours with bright pink/purple on the underside. It is related to the calathea group of plants, know as prayer plants, which react to the level of daylight and raise their leaves when there is less light. This plant is truly beautiful and really popular as a gift. It prefers a warm place with lower light and requires minimal watering in the autumn and winter. In the spring and summer when the plant is growing keep it evenly moist and add a half-strength liquid feed once a month. Care tip: mist the leaves in the morning to provide humidity, or keep in a bathroom/ kitchen where the natural humidity is higher. Ficus lyrata (common name: Fiddleleaf Fig) This exotic plant is really fashionable at the moment and is a real statement specimen. It grows up a long straight stem with large glossy, unusual shaped leaves. It will continue to grow upwards and in time could reach the ceiling if well cared for! In the wild it grows in tropical rainforests and so it loves plenty of warmth and bright light making it ideal to stand near a sunny patio window. In the winter it rarely needs watering and in the spring and summer a weekly watering will suffice. Care tip: if you don’t have a bright location then simply reduce the watering and the plant will adapt. In the growing season add liquid feed to the water once a month to promote excellent growth.
