In recent years, over 95% of British wildflower meadows have disappeared. A combination of farming methods and neat and tidy gardening has resulted in a severe drop in wildflower meadows and gardens.
Wildflower meadows provide important habitats for wildlife. Insects and pollinators thrive, birds can feed and small animals can find shelter.
Whether it’s a flowerpot, flowerbed, wild patch in your lawn, or entire meadow, encouraging and planting wildflowers provides vital resources to support a wide range of insects that couldn’t survive otherwise.
Wildlife-friendly gardening is about making a haven for you, as well as for wildlife.
By gardening for wildlife, you’ll be rewarded with a truly natural outdoor space, where you can enjoy the plants, animals and birds that make their home there.
The essentials of successful wildlife gardening are based on four things: trees, deadwood, water and variety of planting. Any of these features will encourage wildlife to your garden.
