Sponsors of The Folklorians Garden

The Folklorians Garden is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, many of whom are small, independent UK businesses whose craft, care and creativity echo the very spirit of this garden. Their belief in thoughtful making, sustainable practice and community‑rooted horticulture has helped bring this story‑rich space to life. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and for standing alongside us in celebrating the quiet magic of plants, folklore and place.

The folklore of the plants in our gardens

Plants have always carried stories just beneath their leaves, quiet threads of myth and meaning woven into the everyday borders we walk past.

Explore the space where plants meet folklore, and the familiar becomes just a little more enchanted.

The Team

The Folklorians Garden has been shaped by a dedicated team of makers, growers and storytellers, supported by small independent UK businesses whose craft and generosity helped bring this vision to life — meet the people behind the garden here.

Plant List

The Folklorians Garden is shaped by plants chosen for their character, their quiet usefulness to wildlife, and the threads of story they carry with them.

Explore a list that gathers every species and cultivar in the garden, setting out their form, scale and presence so visitors can understand how each one contributes to the woodland‑edge atmosphere. 

The Folklorians Garden @ BBC Gardeners World Live 2026

Planning for The Folklorians Garden began for Kate on her drive home from Gardeners’ World Live 2025. Still buzzing from creating The Nectary, inspiration struck at 3am in a service station on the M6. With a scrap of paper and a head full of ideas, the first threads of The Folklorians Garden took shape, and Kate quickly shared them with her team. What followed were months of research, design work, sponsor conversations and the careful sourcing of materials.
