Most people can agree that David Beckham is easy on the eyes and, unsurprisingly, the same can be said of his garden. The beloved soccer player’s outdoor space is filled to the brim with innovation.
From his highly effective vegetable garden to his stunning greenhouse, it is a practical treasure trove of garden design inspiration.
One of the most notable elements of the garden idea is the most understated: the planting on the pathway to Beckahm’s greenhouse.
While it looks unassuming, these budding lavender plants have numerous benefits for his yard. It is beautiful, helps his vegetables grow, and is easy to maintain.
‘Using lavender to create a beautiful border, whether that’s in a flower bed or to landscape a pathway,
as the Beckhams’ have done, is a wonderful idea – and especially in a vegetable garden,’ says Rachel Bull, master gardener and Head of Gardens at H&G.
She continues, ‘Lavender is a magnet for bees, and by attracting bees in droves they will help to pollinate all your vegetable crops, resulting in successful harvests. Lavender plants are also incredibly hardy, drought-tolerant and will thrive in very poor soil.’
