Wildlife gardening

Our gardens are places for us to sit, relax and unwind; a sanctuary when we need it. But what if it could be the same for wildlife?

Good quality habitats are in decline. Insects, mammals, amphibians and birds are looking for spots to feed, rest and nest, with nowhere to go. By gardening with nature in mind, you’ll be helping to link up a network of wildlife havens, allowing species to thrive throughout Worcestershire; from our city and towns to our beautiful countryside.

Small changes, such as putting up a bird feeder and planting pollinator-friendly flowers in pots, can make all the difference. However, if you’ve got the space and time, establishing larger habitats like mini-meadows and garden ponds, can do wonders to improve the diversity of wildlife in your local area.

From the cold depths of winter to the sunny heights of summer, there’s always something you can do in your garden to help wildlife. Check out our seasonal recommendations below!
