This visual by Zoe Claymore offers a pointer to the Rainforest Garden she is preparing for The Wildlife Trusts for the Chelsea Flower Show (May 24-25, 2025). Her stated aim is "to evoke the lush, wet woodland that once swathed the west coast of the British Isles". The garden will feature birch and alder trees, a small waterfall and boulders, plus mosses, ivy, ferns, bluebells, marsh marigolds and foxgloves. Rainforest now only covers one per cent of Britain, but there are projects to restore it at sites in Cumbria, North Wales and Devon - to the undoubted benefit of birds such as Redstarts and Pied Flycatchers.
