Created in partnership with leading child nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reed, The Adventure combines bold colours, soft textures, extravagant shapes, edible fruits and (importantly) lots of pollinator magnets to create an exciting voyage of discovery. It's designed to encourage children to get outside, get their hands dirty, grow their own and unearth the fun of gardening and nature. Perfectly suited for little hands with big imaginations.
Structure and colour come from the flowers and fruits of small trees such as cherry and elderflower, with year-round interest from beautiful blossoms to eye-catching leaves. The Adventure glimmers with colour and is deliberately very sensorial, with soft grasses and delicious edible fruits such as wild strawberries. A perfect (and slightly crazy) playground for budding young gardeners.
There are a number of key elements that jubilantly combine to create our Adventure garden.
Bright, bold colours from eye-catching flowers ensure there is always something to get excited about!
Combining big shapes with softer textures, this theme encourages you to touch and feel the different plants.
We've included soft fruits and berries to encourage kids to learn more about food and offer up healthy grow-your-own snacks!

Our designs are created to ensure your garden has real structure, colour and shape, for immediate impact.
It means you’ll receive plants and flowers of all shapes and sizes - from larger, “hero” items for stature and impact, all the way through to smaller “bedding” plants that help fill spaces and bring colour.
Here’s some more detail on the types of plants you can look forward to with The Adventure - delivered right to your door and ready for planting.
A visually interesting, structural shrub such as Callicarpa or Gooseberry forms the design’s centrepiece
Weighty shrubs such as Buddleja and Lavender add shape and height to the design, as well as attracting butterflies
Dramatic perennials such as Pennisetum need little space to bring height and sensory stand-out
Statement plants such as vibrant Dahlia and Snapdragon bring colour and punch, for exciting visual impact
Ground plants such as Pelargonium, edible Nasturtium and soft-to-touch Stachys create carpets of colour that fill gaps and provide beautiful fragrance too
Climbers such as Passiflora and Sweet Pea help create height, colour and coverage against fences and walls as well as producing spectacular flowers
All of our themes have been carefully curated to give you the perfect balance of statement plants, varying heights and flowering throughout the year, in both shade and sun. Below is an example of the planting plan that will accompany your new Instant Flower Bed.
Please note that we create your design based on a range of plants to ensure they best suit your space, aspect and flower bed(s) size - the plants mentioned on this page are representative of the theme but there can be variations!
We have three different shapes and sizes of the The Mediterranean available with our Instant Beds, designed for both sunny and shady spots within in your garden. Or, you can go Bespoke if you want something little more personalised.
