“For me, sustainable gardening means kindness: to ourselves and the land. Think of how many life forms we support and are supported by in the garden. We need to look after each other to survive and thrive.”
“Helping wildlife is my passion – everything I do has bees, birds, caterpillars and hedgehogs in mind. I believe we gardeners can save species by connecting our gardens to create the largest nature reserve in Britain. Do join me!”
“I’ve always tried to garden sustainably, particularly when it comes to conserving water, drought-tolerant planting and trying to soak up rainfall when we get too much!”
“I help gardeners make planting choices that not only look and feel good, but benefit the environment too. What we all grow in our gardens and how we manage them can have a significant environmental impact.”
“Fruit and veg gardens can be hubs for biodiversity, soil and water management. Sustainable gardening is a way of thinking about gardening, not just doing it. Plant. Nurture. Eat. Enjoy!”
