Affordable Gardens

Designers: Jess Russell-Perry & Task Academy

Recent times have taught us the value of our outdoor space and how being able to connect with it vastly improves our lives.

These gardens sought to demonstrate that a designed garden is within everyone’s reach with a little ingenuity, a spot of recycling or repurposing and a lot of fun in its creation. The garden was designed by RHS Malvern Show Lead Jess Russell-Perry and built by TASK Academy.

The garden was designed to inspire visitors to undertake garden design work in their own gardens and to highlight that they can up-skill to do this through a course from an academy, such as TASK, or work together with friends, neighbours or family members with the required skills to help them.

The garden featured primarily soft landscaping, purely because hard landscaping is expensive and not as planet friendly. The planting was designed to attract pollinators and wildlife with sustainable construction alternatives included wherever possible
