Marvellous Meadows

Wildflowers will offer a source of nectar and potential breeding habitat for a range of species, as well as creating a pop of colour for you to enjoy.

Composting and Healthy Soil

A compost bin is an easy way to bring your garden to life. By recycling garden waste and kitchen scraps you can entice a whole array of wildlife to visit while also reducing landfill, protecting peat bogs, and saving money too.

Compost bins create sustainable, nutrient-rich soils for pots and beds whilst also acting as a fantastic habitat for many different species.
