Absolutely, and this is what we’re all about!

We saw 5 different species of bats on our Bat Walk last night 🦇

Does anyone fancy a moth ID session? Or a general Bug ID session?

By reducing litter, letting wildflowers thrive, and choosing nature-friendly gardening, we can create space for healthy ecosystems and biodiversity right on our doorstep 🌿

We can all do our bit to create cleaner, greener spaces for everyone. 💚

How many have you seen so far?

The ecological processes happening right now under our feet 🐾 and in our gardens have taken thousands of years to evolve and continue in an ever-changing process of growth, life, reproduction, death, decay and regrowth 🌿

There are multiple ways to work with this cycle to get food, fuel, fibre and medicine out of your patch of soil 🤎 Working with nature, rather than against it, is key 💚

Small actions make a big difference and benefits of going chemical-free include healthy soil with tastier, organic food, stronger plants and thriving wildlife. Your garden or allotment is an ecosystem - find out what works for you. Here are some ideas:

🪲 Habitat creation - ponds, wild patches, log piles and hedges
🦋 Planting out & companion planting
🐌 Pest control barriers
🫖 Compost & compost tea
🌱 Green manure - keeping living roots in the soil year round
