Inspire - Family Gardens

We love helping families connect with nature and wildlife in their own space, creating easy care family gardens with natural play elements, vegetable beds, composting facilities and more. We also offer gardening lessons to give people the skills and confidence to look after their garden themselves.

Purple for pollinators!
Plant purple flowers (such as geranium rozanne) for bees as it's the colour they can see best! #bees #pollinators #purpleflowers #geraniumrozanne

Let The Grass Grow
Allowing your grass to grow and wildlflowers to flourish makes less work for you and is a huge benefit to wildlife. #wildlife #naturalgardens #wildlifegarden #wildflowers #meadow

Let the grass grow!
Let the grass grow and see what wildflowers emerge - you can also add bulbs and plugs of wildflowers to provide nectar and shelter for wildlife. #longgrass #wildflowermeadow #wildergardens #wildlifegarden #naturalgardens

Planting daffodils (aka Narcissi) in your lawn is a gorgeous way to create a more naturalistic garden and provide more nectar and shelter for wildlife. #wildlifegarden #naturalgarden #daffodils #longgrass

Wonderful Weeds!
So called 'weeds' such as these allium triquetrum (three-cornered leek) look gorgeous through long grass, are British native wildlflowers and as a bonus these ones are also edible!

Controlled Wild
An easy to manage balance of cultivated perennials and wildflowers (‘weeds’ 😉) only needs attention a few times a year. It is well worth the minimal effort as the results are a total joy and make my heart sing all summer long!
