About 21 Glenavon Close

Selina Botham, the award-winning garden designer, has crafted a stunning oasis that beautifully combines modern aesthetics with a commitment to nurturing local wildlife. Her garden, as featured on BBC Gardener’s World, is a testament to her innovative approach.

This garden, a harmonious blend of contemporary design and ecological mindfulness, offers a tranquil escape for both its human and animal inhabitants. The garden features an outdoor bath, a pond, water features and a ‘river’ of naturalistic planting. Thoughtfully integrated birdhouses and feeders invite avian visitors, while a small pond and pollinator friendly plants further enhance the garden’s wildlife habitat. A range of seating areas provide varied vantage points to enjoy the garden’s beauty.

Sustainability is a key theme, with eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient lighting integrated into the design. The garden is a testament to Selina’s commitment to creating spaces that not only captivate the eye but also support and celebrate the natural world.

Free tours by the designer start at 2pm and 3pm alongside a display of design work in her garden studio.

Tea and home-made cake for sale in aid of NGS charities.
