Chelsea rainforest garden to arrive at Bristol Zoo
A rainforest garden which was displayed at RHS Chelsea Flower Show l is going to be housed at the Bristol Zoo Project.
The Wildlife Trusts’ British Rainforest Garden will be used as an educational space within the zoo after it had been shown at Chelsea.
It is due to open in October and feature boulders and fern-lined trails, with a canopy of native trees created from hazels, field maples and silver birch from the show garden.
Garden designer Zoe Claymore said: ‘The chance to educate the next generation of conservationist and gardeners is truly a huge honour”.
It will then be recreated and reimagined in Bristol to inspire a link back to historic rainforests and teach younger generations.
The garden will feature boulders, lush undergrowth, lichen-encrusted trusts, honeysuckle and ivy to bring the rainforest environment to life.
