Worried about bees, butterflies and other creatures disappearing from your area? Want to learn more about animals that are key to our ecosystem, as part of Wild About Gardens?

We’ve got ideas to help communities get their neighbourhoods buzzing with life again. Even the smallest changes can help to give nature a home, and people in towns and cities, as well as village communities, play a vital part in providing a haven for some of our much-loved wildlife.

From de-stressing you after a frantic day to giving you healthy physical exercise in the ‘green gym’ - no pricey membership fee to pay - there is mounting evidence that gardens and gardening have an increasingly important role to play in our busy lives.

Whether you enjoy the quiet space of growing plants on your own or the companionship of community projects, gardening is beneficial for everyone.
