Wildlife-friendly gardening

Let's invite wildlife back into our gardens, The Wildlife Trusts and the RHS have set up Wild About Gardens to celebrate wildlife gardening and to encourage people to take action in their gardens to  support nature. Many of our common garden visitors – including hedgehogs, house sparrows and starlings – are increasingly under threat. But together we can make a difference. The focus this year is on bringing your lawn to life, and the new Wild About Gardens booklet isfull of tips and advice to help make your lawns more wildlife-friendly.

Your garden can make a real difference to local wildlife. Large or small, the way you choose to care for your garden matters. Gardens are like mini stepping stones across our towns and villages, helping wildlife find food, water, shelter, and places to breed. Together, they create a living landscape where wildlife can thrive.

Join thousands of other people across the country in making a difference to wildlife in your back garden.

We've created a series of guides full of simple tips and advice on how to attract wildlife into your garden. Whether it's attracting pollinators or finding new ways to keep the pests off your plants, you can create a space that is functional, beautiful and wildlife-friendly.

Follow the links below to find out how.

Author and wildlife gardening expert, Kate Bradbury explains what you can do in your garden at any time of year to encourage pollinators and other wildlife.
