Now six of the best have been created for real in the New Forest garden, and are on display before being positioned in their permanent locations.

The doors join more than 40 others hidden around the informal woodland garden, providing hours of fun for families trying to track them down.

The new doors and their designers are: Autumn Cross (3) with Autumn Forest Hide – a safe place for hedgehogs to hide; Finlay Guppy (6) with The Bug Vet, a vet’s practice for the bugs in the gardens; Evelyn Nicol (7) with Furzey Hospital, inspired by the NHS during the coronavirus crisis;  Jonah Rose (6) with Moonlight Night Flight – a rocket house; Meg Webb (10) with Tiny Treats Sweet Shop and  James Perrin with Fairy Tool Shed. James is one of several people with learning disabilities who work at Furzey Gardens to learn new skills.

“I like my door. It is for the hedgehogs to keep them safe as they are nocturnal,” said Autumn Cross. Evelyn Nicol added, “They have even copied my writing.” And Finlay Guppy’s mother, Nicola said, “It looks absolutely amazing and he was so proud. Thank you so much, he is incredibly happy. The display was brilliant as well, such a lovely idea. It was great to see all the other doors – so much time and effort had been put into them.”

It’s also straight-forward: simply request an approved FREEPOST bag from the Think Inks website: www.inksnhs.com. This will be sent to your address. Fill the bag with your empty cartridges (two to 10 cartridges are permitted in each bag) to recycle. The bag can be posted in any post box, for free. No direct contact with others is required.
