Wilder Gardening Group
The Wilder Gardening group (originally the Gardening for Wildlife group) was formed to provide support for those already enjoying wildlife gardening as well as to encourage others. Wilder Gardening Champions are volunteers who will happily visit to give advice and guidance on how to create, develop or improve your wildlife garden. We also give talks to gardening and other related groups on any topics associated with wildlife gardening. We have been involved in helping schools develop their grounds to increase biodiversity and maximise the learning potential for the children. We organise a newsletter and occasional events for all our group members.
