"Who is going to save the planet and rewild their bushes this year? "
Our new garden has lots of trees at the end. The trees are on a banked bit which we are not mowing so it's like a meadow. We have bird boxes and bee hotels and insect hidey holes and a bird feeder and water bath. We feel very fortunate to have the space to rewild a little bit. |

We (well, me)! I’m trying my best haha!
We have water, moving and still, nettles, open bud roses, lots of pollinators, bushes to feed the birds and sugar water for bees and butterflies.

Your garden looks like it needs a troop of Macaques swinging around, and a parrot.
Love it! |

My bedroom window looks right out to the big tree so I can lay in bed and see the birds go about their daily activities...
I've had Hedgehogs, Foxes , Squirrels and a Buddleia Bush for the Butterflies..

Love laying in bed listening to the bird song and dawn chorus. Sadly developer's have cleared the field behind me and the birds have moved on... Silence now...clarice |

Every wedding I seem to have gone to this year and last has given out wild flower seeds so I have sown these in a patch I have kept aside. Mixed results as it’s more s to be honest.
I also have a big old hedge between me and the field next door so I leave it alone and leave a strip of around a foot to grow wild alongside it instead of mowing the grass up to it.
Couple of bird boxes in my trees as well
Chris Packham would be proud. |

Can’t write the word I want to for some reason. The gap above is plants that are unwelcome and start with W  |

Mine (or my Mum’s as it’s her house) is a work in progress.
We have a large wrap around garden that has different levels so I’m working on it bit by bit. I’ve done a small Courtyard bit by the back door so my mum can sit out in the sunshine and enjoy watching our dogs play - she has poor mobility so it’s the only bit of garden she can reach easily.
I’ve planted flowering shrubs in pots, got wild flowers growing in old discarded pots (I like wild flowers) as well as a rose bush and some evergreens. Got a bug house and I’ve tried to have a container pond but my dogs keep drinking from it, even though there is a water bowl right in front of it!! We get butterflies, bees and lots of birds thanks to the trees that back on to our garden from field behind (I pruned back overhanging branches yesterday) and we have a regular squirrel (Mr Tibbs) to our garden and a Robin who has ventured quite close to me as I water the plants.
The two lawns are currently uncut and they have what look like wild yellow flowers on them (not buttercups I don’t think) but they’ll be cut back soon.
Only really started to get into gardening since lockdown so it’s all a bit trial and error.
