A BASINGSTOKE business is heading to BBC Gardeners' World Live next month to sponsor a show garden at the annual event.
Wildflower Turf Ltd, an award-winning wildflower meadow specialist based is Ashe Warren Farm, near Overton, is backing the 'Nature’s Embrace' garden, curated by Becky Sibley of Wild Thyme Designs.
Designed to nurture children's love for nature through imaginative play, the garden uses Wildflower Turf within its features, which includes a den, beams, and tunnel set among trees and wildflowers.

Becky said the wildflowers allowed her to "create the perfect setting" for the garden and described the company as a "great match".
She added: "Embracing nature at an early age brings a deeper connection to our natural environment and supports positive physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. By embracing nature, it in turn embraces us."

Wildflower Turf Ltd’s managing director, James Hewetson-Brown, said: "It’s very exciting to be a sponsor for the Nature’s Embrace garden at the popular BBC Gardeners’ World Live show.
"Our Native Enriched Wildflower Turf® contains more than 53 species which not only creates a perfect habitat for wildlife, but also provides an array of colours and textures, allowing Becky to devise an inspirational garden which is perfect for families to enjoy.
"It conveys the message that whatever size of garden, they are green spaces for people of all ages to come together, learn and enjoy the shared experience, and we are delighted to be part of that."
After the event, elements of the garden will be relocated to a care home in Chippenham for residents' enjoyment. The show will run from June 13 to 16 at NEC Birmingham.
