Let's Go Wild!

So you want to create the perfect home for wildlife?  Amazing!  You've come to the right place.  Across the UK there are an estimated 24 million gardens which could provide a safe habitat and food for our lovely local wildlife.

Firstly, get lazy and stop mowing your lawn, it is that simple!  Let the grass grow long.  It will give protection to insects and give the wildflowers a chance to grow and feed our beautiful bees.

Don't worry if you are feeling a bit nervous - mark our a small patch to grow wild and build up to the whole lawn if you feel ready!

We'd love to see your before and after photos.  When you send these over, we'll send you some free wildflower seeds for free.

Send us your photos

We are also hosting a webinar all about how you can help your local pollinators on the 17th May at 7:30pm.  Sign up for free now.
