“Whilst habitat loss is the greatest threat to native
bio-diversity, the second biggest threat is invasion by alien
or exotic species! Disused railways are quickly reclaimed
by nature but unless managed as wildlife corridors they become
the home of non-native invasive species which displace our
native ones.
The challenge of this garden has been in trying to recreate
how nature reclaims a site. This has involved incorporating
native, non-native and invasive species.
I have designed gardens before but this is my first on public
display. This is a valuable experience as I am hoping to go
into this field after Kew."
