“‘We’ll keep your garden looking the bee’s knees and make it a haven for wildlife.’”

The Wildlife Gardening Co. is a new eco-friendly, organic gardening service which benefits wildlife as much as it does people.

The animals that share our towns and cities need our help.

Birds, bees, hedgehogs, butterflies, and toads are just some of the species that have seen dwindling populations in recent times. This is because their habitats are being eroded and destroyed by trends in urban living, the use of man-made pesticides and the ever increasing effects of climate change.

BUT… you can help to fight this catastrophic decline…

…whilst enjoying a wonderful garden…

…and all without lifting a finger!


Conserving and promoting wildlife in your garden is so easy with our expert and professional service.

The good thing is that it costs no more than you’d expect to pay for normal garden maintenance, but with the added benefit that you’ll know you’re doing your bit for the environment.


What does it involve?

Well, it’s actually pretty straight forward…

We plant nectar-rich, pollinator-friendly flowers…

…install vital habitats and homes such as bird and bat boxes, log piles and ponds…

…and ensure connectivity between neighbouring gardens through hedgehog highways and hedgerows.

Simply because we know when and how to cut lawns, trees, shrubs, and hedges makes a huge difference to the survival chances of birds and insects.

Our mission is to make your garden a beautiful place where wildlife can flourish.

Choose from our menu of services.

Habitats, food and water: wildlife ponds, wildflower meadows, wildlife friendly planting schemes, stumperies, dead hedges…

General maintenance: weeding, pruning, grass cutting/strimming, hedge cutting, planting, organic fertilising/mulching…

Homes for wildlife: visit our online shop to browse our selection of sustainable nestboxes.

Whether you need a one-off tidy up, a regular visit, a full garden makeover or simply some advice, we can help.

Keep an eye out for caterpillars this month. Many, such as the Elephant Hawk-moth (Pic1&2) and The Knot Grass (Pic 3), are feeding up before they spend the winter as a pupa. Elephant Hawk-moth caterpillar is fond of Willowherbs, bedstraws and f
Over the past year we’ve been adding a few extra features to this already thriving wildlife garden. 🥕 We installed a couple of raised beds so that the customers could grow some of their own veg. A great way to cut down on your food miles.
