🌿The UK’s biodiversity is under serious threat. 🌿
If our gardens in Britain were made even a tiny bit wilder, they could do a lot to offer a vital lifeline for wildlife.
Wilder spaces can boost biodiversity, improve water quality, absorb carbon, and even reduce the impacts of climate breakdown such as flooding. And of course, gardens are so precious in helping each of us connect with nature too.
Ways to rewild your garden.
• You could create natural habitats for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths, by mowing less or letting the grass grow longer in some areas
• Choose plants that are adapted to the UK’s climate and soil which provide year-round nectar, pollen, seeds and berries.
• Install a pond to attract frogs, newts, birds, insects, and even small mammals.
• Tidy less - log piles, rockeries, dead wood and piles of leaves can provide nesting sites, hibernation spots, and places for insects to thrive.
