Recycle and Grow


I'm very taken by these raised beds created by The Ranelegh School for The Chelsea Flower Show.

Made out of recycled pallets, the beds contain a variety of fruit trees, vegetables and a few flowers. Just goes to show that you can create an abundant and prolific garden in a small space and from recycled materials. Not only that, but it looks great too.

We have a few pallets lying around that arrived at the shop with deliveries so I'm now thinking we'll have a go at making some of these too.

There is a growing trend (sorry!) at The Chelsea Flower Show for recycling and sustainable plantings. Read a brief overview at Treehugger.
