There will also be experienced beekeepers on hand to promote the role beekeeping plays in maintaining sustainability and to respond to questions from festival goers.

Hampton Court's 2022 famous garden festival will celebrate the healing power of gardening, from the Ukraine war to mental and physical wellbeing.

Highlights include Ukrainian designers Victoria and Oleksiy Manoylo, who will be designing a garden that expresses Ukrainian culture and strength, as well as hope for the future.

Adam Crofts' immersive 'River Cottage Market Garden' focuses on growing organic produce, encouraging people to make small steps that will lead to global impacts.

The 'Garden Started' garden will aim to inspire people of all ages and abilities to get planting whatever their budget or space.
