Wildflowers aren’t just pretty, they’re doing serious work!
A single patch attracts bees, butterflies, pollinators that we can’t afford to loose. The roots hold soil together and when we get flooding, they are great at soaking it all up!
We work wildflowers into our designs whenever we can, it’s so important to have a border that stays wild. It’s small changes like this that help support our environment and save pollinators that help keep us alive!

Concrete in full sun hits 40°C. Grass hits 23°C. Add a tree and you knock off another 10 degrees!
We've had two record heatwaves already this year. The RHS, the Woodland Trust and the HTA are now asking government to support an increase in domestic tree production - because the UK doesn't grow enough of its own trees to keep up.
"Plant a tree" can sound tokenistic. It isn't. This is your street being liveable in 40°C heat, or not.
Small ask. Big shade. 🌳 READ MORE
