WILDLIFE detection dogs proved you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for the bees by checking out Reaseheath College’s show garden at the RHS Flower Show Tatton Park.

Specially trained dogs Twister and Luna, along with handler Louise Wilson, joined garden design and horticulture students from the Nantwich college to test whether their wildlife friendly garden was as attractive to nature as it was to people.

Louise, 30, a former Reaseheath animal behaviour and welfare student, has trained seven-year-old springer spaniel Twister and two-year-old Labrador Luna to seek out endangered species.

The dogs gave their nose of approval to the college’s ‘Nature Squared’ garden, designed by students to make a positive contribution to bio diversity despite its domestic setting.

The garden, which won a silver-gilt medal, contained ‘habitat areas’ planted with widely available, cultivated plant varieties which are similar to native species. It was much admired by TV gardening guru Monty Don, who presented BBC Two coverage of the event from the garden and chatted to student Angela Fearon.

Other members of the team who designed and managed the project were Jane Houghton, Robert Frost, Lee McDermott and Jenny Edmonstone, who are all studying for their foundation degree in garden and landscape design.

The garden was built by a team of student volunteers from a range of horticulture courses.
