Gardening for nature.

Any space you can share with nature will be benificial. Making space on balconies, patios or gardens can become corridors of green for our wildlife. In the uk we have more than 20 million gardens that between them contain more than four times the area of our nature reserves. If you leave room for wildlife they will find it.

All the photos and videos on this page were taken in the garden since introducing wilding. A small pond, wild areas of grass, nettles alongside areas of shade and shelter.

Since leaving the bottom part of my garden wild the garden has been visited by birds, insects and animals that were not here before. Many complete their lifecycle in the garden every year. Butterflies like the Red Admirals, Orange Tips, Comma’s and Peacocks lay their eggs and hatch as a butterflies within it.

If you allow native plants to grow the butterflies will follow.
