Wild About Gardens

'Wild About Gardens', is a major new project from the Royal Horticultural Society and The Wildlife Trusts. It aims to bring the worlds of gardening and nature conservation closer together.

The project aims to increase understanding of the significance of local wildlife character, celebrate what garden owners are already doing to support wildlife in their area, and build on existing research into the wildlife potential of domestic gardens.

Anyone who gardens has the opportunity to make a difference and 'Wild About Gardens' aims to give everyone the advice, inspiration and local knowledge they need to help maximise the potential of their garden nature reserves.
