Top planting ideas to inspire that natural feeling in your own green space.

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is back in its traditional May timeslot for the first time in three years and, this time around, things are a little bit wild in SW3.

When you step through the floral archway at the main gate you can't help but notice the display is simply buzzing with bees. It's a mix of native plants, species and cultivated flowers that are a magnet for pollinators – stylishly unruly, but very, very beautiful, and this sets the scene for the show.

Forget clipped box balls and yews, freshly cut lawns, and exotic architectural planting. The inspiration for Chelsea 2022 is the British countryside and, whether it's wild food plants in the Alder Hey Urban Foraging Station, or tranquil floral meadows in Andy Sturgeon's Mind Garden, the show is brimful with flowers and long grasses that will make you feel like you've just stepped into a meadow. The look is all about growing natural, native and wildlife-friendly gardens. But how easy is it to get the wild look at home?

Designer Juliet Sargeant, who created the New Blue Peter Garden, advises: 'Wild gardening is all about choices. In a small space, it's hard to achieve all-year interest with the wild look because there is a time when it just doesn't do – but it does work in containers, and it's pretty low maintenance, as you can cut it back every year and the plants will return. Think about using native plants and smaller flowers that will intermingle – things with a long stem that poke up through other things, like geums.'

Here are 10 planting ideas to inspire that natural feeling in your own green space. Combine three or more of these plants in a container for a loose, free-flowing look that will give you flowers right through summer, or add them to a more formal mix to introduce a wild element and attract those all-important pollinators. Or, if you're after a no-mow meadow, get started with wildflower turf by Lindum Turf, which has a mix of wild campion, ragged robin, yarrow, oxeye daisies and plantain already sown into the mats.

We're not talking about the exotic tropical types, but the very British, native Southern marsh, Dactylorhiza praetermissa and Common spotted orchids Dactylorhiza fuchsii. These beautiful, tiny, purple spires can be found growing on roadside verges and meadows and you can buy them from specialist suppliers. Grow among grasses, but they work in containers too and will give your wild planting a truly authentic look.

White campion flowers were everywhere at Chelsea 2022. This is a great species for adding to a mix with grasses, where the flowers will rise up above lower growing planting to bring in butterflies and other pollinating insects. It flowers right through the summer and although it's a short-lived perennial, it will self-seed.

Available in pink and white, these are key plants for damp meadows and riversides. The delicate native flowers might seem a little bit 'weedy' for some, but mix them in with their common bedfellows like campion, plantain and buttercup, and they will be right at home and will reel in the honeybees and butterflies. If they're happy at Chelsea, then why not add them to your garden?

With its typical cones of white and pink flowers, this is a must to get the wild Chelsea look. It will grow almost anywhere, out of walls and paving stones, so it will definitely suit sunny borders and containers. The froth of blooms will keep going from spring right into autumn, so they really are hardworking, wild-looking plants.

What could be more simple? You can leave them in your lawn, but if you're looking for a daisy to suit your borders and pots, the frothy mass of Erigeron karvinskianus, also known as Mexican fleabane, is a favourite choice with Chelsea designers. It's much smaller than the oxeye daisy, Leucantheumum vulgare, that is a feature of meadow planting and is great for dry planting and tumbling over the edges of containers and window boxes for a naturally relaxed look that goes on for most of the year.

With tiny flowers appearing in flat clusters on top of tall stems, plants like Cow Parsley provide the perfect landing platform for pollinators. Looks-wise, it's hard to beat that waist high froth of dreamy floral delight. But while they are harder to grow successfully in gardens, there are many alternatives you can use for the same effect. Designers love Orlaya grandiflora – this white laceflower will bloom repeatedly right through the summer.

Great for adding intense colours to your meadow look, these poppies come in brilliant yellow and orange through to the hottest of reds. The grey-green, feathery foliage is elegant and the blooms keep coming right through summer. Leave them to self-seed and you'll be rewarded with these brilliant poppies for years to come. Good for drought-tolerant schemes and gravel gardens.

These wonderful flowers bring orange and yellow zing to the garden right through the summer, and their foliage doesn't die back over winter, so there's a bonus feature too. There are many cultivated varieties to choose from, but a Chelsea favourite is 'Totally Tangerine'. They are great for combining with wild natives or for contrast with herbs like nepeta and lavender.

A favourite for bees, this is fantastic for all gardens and useful too. Easy to grow from seed, you can make compost tea with the leaves to feed your plants with a nutritious homemade plant food, and use the pretty flowers to decorate summer salads and cocktails, and simply enjoy the nodding stems and textured foliage.

Guaranteed to add a soft contrast to planting schemes and a real sensual dimension with their unique swishy movement. Stipa tenuissima is a favourite for smaller spaces and containers, but one of the most popular grasses popping up in Chelsea gardens was Briza media (pictured), also known as the quaking grass. It's a designer favourite, with soft foliage and tiny round seedheads that add texture and sound.
