Gardens and outdoor spaces have become a haven for many people during lockdown and the pandemic has created a new generation of enthusiasts who have discovered the mental and physical health and well-being benefits of gardening and reconnecting with nature.

It’s the perfect time of year to start planning and designing your garden, we have a variety of gardening tutorial videos and resources suitable for any age and ability by our Growing the Future project available here.  If you’re looking for pollinator-friendly plants for your garden, we have a variety of native wildflower seeds, harvested from our Waun Las National Nature Reserve, on sale on our online shop.

We’re saving pollinators – and so can you!

Our Saving Pollinators Assurance Scheme will help you be more kind to pollinators and the planet – and is all backed by the research work of our brilliant Science Team.

Buying plants grown without synthetic insecticides will help to prevent pollinator declines and will also benefit insect-eating wildlife such as hedgehogs, sparrows and frogs.  Plants displaying our Saving Pollinators logo have been proven to support pollinators by the Botanic Garden’s research scientists and grown without the use of synthetic insecticides and peat compost.
