Pollyanna Wilkinson: Simple tips for a spectacularly designed garden - Episode 276

Every garden space deserves a chance to be transformed into a beautiful space which breathes, rather than constricts, and Pollyanna Wilkinson is a master of such designs.
Polly joins Sarah this week to share her no‑nonsense methods for transforming everything from boxy new‑build plots to tired, inherited gardens into layered, soulful spaces.
In this episode, discover:
• How to think like a garden designer, surveying, shaping and structuring spaces before you plant
• Practical ways to transform new‑build and small gardens, or refresh an existing garden
• Guidance on choosing materials and finishes that feel good underfoot, are easy to maintain, and will age beautifully over time.
• How to use colour and planting layers to create a soulful, wildlife‑friendly garden with interest through the seasons
