Nature is for everyone- no previous experience needed!

Top tips to give nature a helping hand

  • Let a patch of your garden ‘grow wild’- a host of creatures will benefit from this simple action.
  • Adopt a pollinator-friendly planting approach- bees, butterflies and hoverflies will appreciate the pollen and nectar sources
  • A window box will attract pollinators if short on space – lavender and marigolds are good choices
  • Go peat free and pesticide free- chemicals can have a devastating effect on insects and soil microorganisms. Peat free compost helps protect precious boggy habitats from peat extraction
  • Provide a water source for hedgehogs, birds and insects- a simple plant pot saucer works well
  • Give nature a home and install a bug house or bird box
  • Take pictures of nature you encounter in your garden or when out and about. Share on social media to join a vibrant community of nature lovers
