Ratty's Refuge
![[#rattyAltTag]](/media/7480670-rattysrefuge.jpg)
Inspiring gardeners to help save the water vole is the theme of a new garden – River & Rowing Museum’s Ratty's Refuge – at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May. The garden also celebrates the 100th birthday of Kenneth Grahame’s classic book The Wind in the Willows, the star of which is Ratty - a water vole. The Museum in Henley on Thames houses the only dedicated Wind in the Willows exhibition in the UK.
