Wildlife-friendly Gardening

Wildlife-friendly Gardening

2026 Date tbc: provisionally Autumn 2026 (usually Saturday morning)
Rosendale Allotments Community Building, 227 Rosendale Rd, SE21 8LP

The UK has become one of the world's most nature-depleted countries and as gardeners we really need to be part of the solution. There are many simple ways to make your garden or outside space more hospitable for wildlife. We will explore ways to create habitats for a range of creatures, look at what plants are best for attracting insects, understand the need to provide food and shelter for different stages of animal lifecycles and suggest different approaches to creating a year-round wildlife-friendly garden, that will bring pleasure to the gardener as well benefitting their environment.

Participants will be able to tour the allotment site and identify beneficial plants and sow some to plant in their own gardens or outdoor spaces.

Workshops held on Saturday morning in our Rosendale Allotments classroom with a maximum of 12 students.

Cost: £49
