Wildlife wins thanks to organic approach
The Garden Room installation invites visitors to discover more about the methods Rosie and her team uses, and the benefits this has had for nature.
She said: 'We have seen some really encouraging examples of ‘wildlife wins’ at thanks to the organic approach in the garden – including the first pair of nesting woodpeckers in the kitchen garden this year, regular sightings of kestrels, little owls, songbirds and other species feeding in the garden and meadow areas.'
There have also been sightings of rare bees, and butterflies finding food and shelter on plants, and five huge badger sets which now stretch across the site.
'We’ve also seen smaller signs of success,' she adds. 'With colonies of rare wildflowers starting to take hold including meadow saxifrage.’
The Garden Room installation is now open. It’s free to National Trust members, and included within the entry fee for non-members who pay to visit the garden. Look out for changing seasonal tips and behind the scenes information from the Ham House Garden team within the display too.
