Gardens That Help Wildlife Thrive

With 24 million gardens in the UK spanning 400,000 hectares, there is great potential for private gardens to help wildlife by linking green spaces together across the country.

Wildlife gardens can support birds, insects, mammals and plants while still being beautiful, usable places for people. Biodiversity brings resilience, seasonal interest and a stronger connection with the living world.

Good wildlife garden design is practical as well as ecological, bringing together planting, water, shelter, soil health and ongoing care.
