The Big Wildlife Garden scheme

.
A scheme to encourage gardening in a wildlife-friendly manner strikes a chord with me, as the CFZ grounds already have a fair range of wild plants such as brambles and stinging nettles.

This project, organised by Natural England (the government’s conservation advisory body) seeks to increase the diversity of plants and animals in every garden.

"Be a part of England’s newest nature reserve," their website suggests. "The Big Wildlife Garden can help you turn your garden into an oasis for plants and animals."

Sounds a pretty good move.
