Wild About Gardens

Let's invite wildlife back

The Wildlife Trusts and the RHS set up Wild About Gardens to celebrate wildlife gardening and to encourage people to use their gardens to take action to help 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.

Help us turn the UK’s 24 million gardens into a network of nature reserves, and invite our wildlife back.

 

🦋Go wild for butterflies! 🦋

This year we’re going wild about butterflies! Butterflies and moths aren’t doing too well at the moment, with many species declining in recent years. But, the good news is that we can help butterflies and moths through gardening! Collectively our gardens can provide important places, homes and food sources for these special creatures.

Soon we'll be launching our pledge a patch map! Watch this space and, in the meantime, read our guide on how to get started.
