Big Wildlife Garden Competition

What you do for the nature on your doorstep can make a big difference for wildlife. And it’s not just wildlife that benefits. You’ll feel good too: getting outdoors can be both relaxing and invigorating.

The more people who do their bit for the wildlife in their patch, the bigger the UK’s garden nature reserve. We’d like to find some of the best examples of wildlife gardens in the UK - ones that will inspire others to take action to turn their gardens into wildlife havens. Remember that size doesn’t matter – small-scale actions can still reap big rewards for wildlife.

Entry is free, and prizes will include a year’s membership of both the Royal Horticultural Society, and your local Wildlife Trust, plus attendance at a wildlife gardening masterclass at the Hampton Court Flower Show. Sarah Raven, gardener, writer and television presenter, will be on the BWG competition judging panel.

The competition is open to everybody in the UK, including individuals, communities and businesses.
