Your garden doesn’t need to be a fully-fledged nature reserve to be a place that helps our native wildlife to thrive and plants to grow.
Our Green Team offer a free garden survey for tips and ideas on how you can nurture a garden that encourages nature and helps to capture carbon to tackle climate change.
Taking just an hour to complete, the survey involves looking at the number, type and variety of plants present in your garden, easy sources of food and water for insects and animals and if there are safe places for wildlife to live and hibernate.
The findings are used to create a guide with actions you can take to support and enhance nature by encouraging native plants and wildlife in your garden.
Ideas could include providing seeds and water for birds, letting areas bloom with bee-friendly flowers, planting shrubs and putting hedgehog highways in fences so wildlife can move freely between neighbours’ gardens, then into local parks and beyond.
