Why we must learn to love and care for our garden's 'ugly bugs' 

They're vital to biodiversity. Take inspiration from Chelsea gold medallist Tom Massey’s forthcoming bug-friendly show garden

Bees and butterflies always get plenty of attention in the garden — but what about the less attractive insects? Moths, beetles, hornets and ants are all important for biodiversity, insists top garden designer Tom Massey, whose Royal Entomological Society Garden at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show will feature a plethora of plants which act as magnets for insects.

The show garden will also incorporate hard landscaping designed to be permeable and habitable to insects, including retaining walls made out of recycled materials using deadwood and crushed and graded construction waste.
