Butterfly Garden, Williamson Park, Lancaster
This was a 6-month project to design and plant an outdoor area which included borders for butterflies, birds and other wildlife. The plan involved flowering shrubs and perennials focusing on species rich in pollen and nectar. This project was commissioned by Lancashire County Council’s Community Design Service; Jennifer is a registered designer with this scheme.
