While on holiday in Bourton on the Water, we discovered the Living Green Centre, an organic show garden attached to a gardening & ethical living shop. The first thing we noticed was the grassy green roof, alive with grass and wild flowers.

We explored the show garden which had clever ideas such a using wheelbarrows as planters and putting mirrors on the pond floor to reflect light and show up tadpoles more clearly.

I loved the “mouse boat” – a structure to keep the mice away from the pea plants growing safely inside.
