Aspiring landscape architect and University of Sheffield student, Olivia Copley, 21 is set on creating her long border garden ‘Small Actions, Big Impact’ at this year's Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show at Tatton Park, demonstrating the vital importance of front gardens to boost biodiversity, create green corridors and improve wellbeing.
An urban front garden is arguably more important than any other as its impact reaches far beyond its residents and the positive effects are felt by everyone that passes by on foot, by car or on the bus enlivening the mundane commute. The impact on people and their well being is every bit as important, and beautiful green spaces filled with birds and insects has such a positive effect on people’s health too.
Taking inspiration from her rural upbringing as well as lectures in ecology and planting, some of which were from Nigel Dunnett, she will be creating a multifunctional space that mimics a front garden which she hopes to demonstrate to people that no matter how little the space, every small action adds up to make a big impact. Her design features a reclaimed brick pathway which leads to a woven willow archway mimicking a ‘front door’ created by local Shropshire willow sculpture Daisy Askins.
