Garden projects

Large or small, ledge or yard, your garden can be a mosaic in a wider network of natural havens linking urban green spaces with nature reserves and the countryside.

Together, our gardens are a vast living landscape.  With an estimated 24 million gardens in the UK, the way they are cared for can make a big difference to the natural world.

Hedgehogs, bats, sparrows, song thrushes and stag beetles are all declining species in the UK, but if we manage our gardens to benefit wildlife, these creatures and many more will find refuge.  

Explore ways to attract pollinators, by planting a range of native species to flower throughout the year. The simple act of providing water for wildlife will have a huge impact. Try leaving a patch of logs or long grass undisturbed all year, giving shelter to all sorts of wildlife. And go chemical and peat-free, to maintain a healthy ecosystem. 

We have a whole range of fantastic gardening project ideas for you to get stuck into - both big and small. Whether you want to revamp your planting, dig a wildlife pond, or simply clean out your bird feeders, we have lots of tips and tricks to help you! 

Here are a few of our favourites - why not try one of these activities today?

We know that our gardens and outside spaces come in all different shapes and sizes, so we've brought together as many things to do as possible. Just pick what suits you depending on how much time and energy you've got!
