it's not a weed

 

Rewild and they will come


We can each make a difference in our own small way. Whatever space if you are able to leave something for nature it will make a difference. By designing with nature there are several ways you are making a positive change. 

1 By providing a foothold for the natural world 

2 Encouraging native insects and animals that will keep pests under control 

3 Improving soil by working with nature 

4 Creating a space for you to enjoy

The difference between a flower and a weed is your mindset!

Instead of using chemicals and sprays to stop your plants being eaten, start with a change to your mindset. Native flora and fauna can be seen as welcome additions to your green space. Indigenous plants will work with you, attracting pollinators and beneficial insects, improving pollination, and deterring pests. Frogs, birds, ants, ladybirds, there are so many different species that can keep slugs, snails, caterpillars and green fly under control. 

Birds and butterflies can be attracted to your garden by providing flowers and feeders but to keep them there you need the food plants growing nearby. By enhancing biodiversity you will be contributing to a more sustainable garden, while also reducing the need for chemical interventions Take action to help restore a relationship with land and nature. 

Clover, dandelion and nettles have their place with the nursery plants and vegetables in our garden. Together they have created a vibrant and rewarding space for all of us
