Wild About Gardens

There are up to 23 million gardens and over 62,000 urban green spaces in the UK. If we work together and create wildlife-friendly gardens and green spaces, imagine the contribution we could make to the climate crisis!

Our Wild about Gardens team aims to encourage and inspire EVERYONE in Kent to create vital stepping stones for nature and help contribute towards a Nature Recovery Network to reverse the loss of biodiversity by gardening in a nature-friendly way in their gardens or local communal open spaces. 

The Wild About Gardens team works closely with Pesticide Action Network (PAN). For more information on how to garden without poisons and details of current campaigns, please visit their website below.
