In the BBC centenary year, its flagship children鈥檚 programme, Blue Peter got a new garden. The theme of The New Blue Peter Garden is 鈥榙iscover soil鈥�.

The garden encourages us to investigate the soil beneath our feet bringing it up to eye level for us to see, touch, smell and hear. The garden鈥檚 message is, 鈥楧on鈥檛 treat soil like dirt!鈥� Soil is complex and alive and we couldn鈥檛 survive without it. We are losing soil faster than Nature can replenish it and we need to look after it. Composting is one easy thing we can all do to help our soil at home.

At the show, alongside soil-themed art, including 鈥榗itizen art鈥� projects created by the children and people of Salford, garden visitors could listen to the sounds of a compost heap. In a subterranean observation chamber, they could watch what happens below ground. The garden is multi-layered with vibrant blue and orange planting to reflect the colours of Blue Peter.
