Many British wildlife species are in decline as they come under increasing pressure from habitat loss, climate change and intensive methods of agriculture, including the use of pesticides.

Small changes in the way we garden can have huge impacts on our local biodiversity and the overall health of our gardens and wildlife populations. Hobby and amateur gardeners as well as allotment holders are a vital part of the conservation landscape and have a vital role to play in giving a helping hand to humanity's most industrious and important insects.

My aim is to change the way we garden as a nation - one garden at a time. Let me show you some quick and simple ways you can make a difference. Applying a few simple principles to the way you garden will make a significant difference to their populations and ultimately the sustainability of our food supply.
