The ripple grows
When I started rewilding my garden, my neighbours were curious. Within six months, three families on my street had created wildlife ponds and planted native flowers. Now we see hedgehogs traveling between our gardens every evening.

- Gardens of all sizes welcome—balconies to large plots
- Renters and homeowners can participate equally
- Creating wildlife corridors throughout the town
What Gardeners Are Saying
Hear from UK gardeners who've registered their gardens and are making a difference for wildlife.
I never realized how much wildlife was missing from my garden until I started making small changes. Now I see hedgehogs, bees, and even a family of robins nesting in my hedge. It's wonderful knowing my little patch is part of something bigger.

"As a renter, I thought I couldn't do much for wildlife. But after registering my small balcony garden, I've planted wildflowers in pots and put up a bee hotel. I've counted six different pollinator species already this year!"
James Chen
Ipswich, Suffolk
"Joining the Community Nature Reserve gave me the confidence to let part of my lawn grow wild. My neighbours were curious at first, but now three other families on our street have registered too. We're creating a proper wildlife corridor together."
Margaret Thompson
Trimley St. Mary, Suffolk
"Our quarter-acre garden in the Cotswolds has become a haven for wildlife since we registered. We've installed three ponds, planted native hedgerows, and left wild areas. Last month we spotted our first grass snake in 20 years!"
David & Emma Roberts
Cirencester, Gloucestershire
"Living in a Manchester flat, I thought wildlife gardening wasn't for me. But my balcony boxes now attract bees, butterflies, and even a robin who visits daily. Every small space counts!"
Priya Sharma
Manchester, Greater Manchester
"Our Edinburgh townhouse has a small courtyard garden—just 4m x 3m. We've packed it with native plants in containers and a mini pond. It's amazing how much life such a tiny space can support. We've logged 15 species this year!"

A Letter from Sir David Attenborough: A Milestone for Community Nature Reserve
Receiving a handwritten letter from Sir David Attenborough was a powerful reminder that local conservation matters. The Community Nature Reserve demonstrates how small, community-led actions can combine to create meaningful, connected habitats that support biodiversity and bring people closer to nature.
