Gain greater understanding of your garden as it develops over a year

  • A garden visit of approximately 1 hour.  Together we’ll look at your garden, the benefits it is providing to wildlife and explore how it could provide greater resources for pollinators, other invertebrates, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals.

  • We’ll identify 5 areas in your garden where the wildlife value could be increased, focusing on easy to achieve steps requiring minimum time and resources.

  • Within 2 weeks of the visit, you will receive a “Four Seasons Report”. A .pdf document of approximately 15 pages full of photographs from your garden, highlighting the 5 key aspects of your garden’s wildlife potential. The report will include:

    • A Rewilding Action Plan

    • Explain how you can manage your garden to enhance its wildlife value

    • Rewilding tips and ideas directly related to your garden.

    • The benefits your garden is already providing to wildlife

    • Links to relevant information about the specific plants and animals in your garden.

    • For the next four seasons you will receive an email highlighting what’s happening that season for the key features that you have in your garden, including 3 things you can do for the benefit of wildlife in your garden that season.

Rewilding suggestions can be tailored to your interests, for example: Habitat creation, New planting, Projects with kids, and Supporting more pollinators.

By the end of the year you’ll have a good understanding of the resources your garden is providing for your local wildlife each season and a roadmap for continuing to increase those resources. Your garden will be visited by increasing numbers of bees, butterflies, birds and other wildlife.
