Spring is here! Please note that we have a very high volume of orders so the current lead time for delivery is 3-4 weeks.

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.

The Elements

There are a number of key elements that jubilantly combine to create our Adventure garden.

The Adventure palette

Tiger orange

Berry red

Bright green

Ocean blue

Striking silver

Fun

Bright, bold colours from eye-catching flowers ensure there is always something to get excited about!

Sensorial

Combining big shapes with softer textures, this theme encourages you to touch and feel the different plants.

Tasty

We've included soft fruits and berries to encourage kids to learn more about food and offer up healthy grow-your-own snacks!

What plants to expect in your Adventure Garden

We've worked hard to create plant combinations that not only bring out the fun and colour, but also flex to your space (e.g. it's size & position) and needs (e.g. pet-friendly).

This means that the plant choices may vary from order to order, to ensure the best results for you.

The Designs

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!

The Inspiration

The Great Outdoors

That's right, nature. Pure and simple. This is one of the key inspirations behind this theme designed to get you and your family closer to nature and start your adventure together

The Children's Garden at Kew Gardens

This beautiful, adventurous space at Kew Gardens in London provides children with a space to explore, play and learn about nature - and we love it.

Pick-Your-Own!

Pick your own fruits fields are fantastic places to help children learn more about where food comes from, and enjoy the delicious, fresh rewards. That's why we've included a number of edible plants in this theme!
