Lulu Urquhart and Adam Hunt of Urquhart & Hunt won Best in Show and Gold at last year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show and were named Homes & Gardens’ Garden Designer of the Year 2022. This month, they discuss the importance of hedges as the green veins of our land.
AS human development encroaches upon natural habitats and changing weather systems require animals and plants to migrate, wildlife corridors have become increasingly important for connecting fragmented ecosystems and allowing species to move between areas of suitable habitat. The hedgerows and boundaries in our gardens can help significantly with this, allowing wildlife to move through our gardens into the wider landscape.
