Pathways made of red brick divide the eight 2.5sq m flowerbeds. This garden was planned to be easily replicated in anyone's garden at home and as most of the plants could be grown from seed, it is perfect for gardeners on a budget.

The secluded seating area is next to a shed in which to arrange the freshly cut flowers from the garden - there's even a colourful selection of vases inside.

Wigwams made of coppiced silver birch add height and give the sweet peas a support to grow up

From the show

  • Gorgeous, zingy colours in a delightful patchwork of flowerbeds
  • Secluded seating area at the back of the garden - you view the garden through diaphanous planting
  • Textural planting and hard landscaping emphasises the cornucopia of colour and plant diversity

At the garden

The Anneka Rice Colour Cutting Garden is designed by Sarah Raven. Every square inch of space will give you flowers, flowers and more flowers. The garden is inspired by Tricia Guild’s renowned use of colour in her designs. It is a profusion of colour that will be an amazing sight and concentrates on plants that cut and come out again. Gold, the colour for 50th Wedding Anniversaries, features in this garden to celebrate 50 years of BBC Radio 2.
