How to Turn Your Garden into a Haven for Wildlife 

As our minds increasingly turn to thinking of ways we can help support our British ecosystems and protect nature, turning your garden into a haven for wildlife has never been more appealing. But how can this be done? 

No matter the size of your garden, you can always make it a haven for wildlife by planting native flowers that support one of the most important groups of animals in our ecosystem: Insects. Insects such as bees, beetles and butterflies are all vital pollinators that depend on these flowers and provide the foundations on which wildlife can thrive. 

Unfortunately, as more and more natural spaces are destroyed by human expansion, areas of wildflowers are being destroyed and these vital pollinators are decreasing in number. This poses a persistent threat to the future of all species in the country including humans, as these pollinators are necessary for farmer’s crops to thrive. 

At Wildflower Promotions we are on a mission to prevent this natural calamity, by supplying a range of native wildflowers in fun packets you can gift at a range of events, so no matter the occasion sustainability can be promoted and every guest can have the opportunity to make a difference. 

The Benefits of a Wildlife-Focussed Garden

There are many benefits to optimising your garden, no matter its size, for your local wildlife and it doesn’t have to be a daunting or unachievable mission with the right guidance and prioritisation of key environmental benefactors. 

For example, planting native British wildflowers in your garden can provide for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. We can offer a selection of wildflower seeds for bees that will make your garden come alive with the gentle hum of their wings in the spring as they seek out the bright petals of poppies and marigolds; as well as butterfly seed packets full of wildflowers such as cornflowers, thistles and daisies which these beautiful creatures adore for their nectar. 

To further add to the benefits of these wildflowers, why not add some denser shrubs or berry bushes for birds or small mammals to hide in. The small birds, such as Chaffinches, Bluetits and Blackbirds, will enjoy eating any other insects the flowers attract (helping pest control in your garden) and can use most types of native long grass to build their nests. 

Adding these features to your garden requires minimal effort but has a huge pay-off: providing you with a beautiful garden full of colour and life and your local wildlife a sanctuary in which to thrive amongst the urban environment. 

Planting Native British Wildflowers

It is vital that when you do plant wildflowers that they are all native to the UK so that they contribute positively to an existing ecosystem and don’t cause unnecessary disruption to the natural balance. 

At Wildflower Promotions, our wildflower mixes only contain the seeds of UK wildflower species and they are also grown in the UK. Moreover, we have ensured our seeds are all fully traceable with our supplier, who is also annually checked by the DEFRA, so that you can have complete peace of mind that the seeds you are getting are not only of the highest quality but also responsibly sourced. 

Moreover, we provide all of our seeds in eco-friendly, fully recyclable and biodegradable packaging made out of glassine paper which is resistant to moisture so that your seeds can stay dry and safe until you want to plant them. A great advantage of this is we can print unique designs onto the seed packets: meaning you can gift them as personalised gifts at business events, parties, weddings and any other occasion where you want to promote sustainability with your own unique flair. 

Additionally, a selection of our seed packets support the causes we’re passionate about so you can help the natural world in more ways than one. 

Why are Butterflies and Bees so Brilliant?

Bees and butterflies may be small, but their impact is vast. Bees are essential pollinators for much of the food we eat, while butterflies are an important indicator of environmental health as a thriving butterfly population signals a balanced ecosystem. Additionally, both of these species add a distinct and beautiful character to your outdoor space. By supporting these creatures you are helping to ensure that plants, fruits and vegetables can continue to flourish; making them vital allies in the fight for biodiversity.

We offer a wonderful and affordable range of butterfly seed packets full of all the flowers these creatures need to survive, as well as many wildflower seeds for bees that not only help these pollinators in your garden, but also help us support the Bumblebee Conservation Trust who are doing vital work in protecting Britain’s bees. 

Grow a Greener Future Through Flowers

By making conscious choices in our gardens and at our gatherings, we can all play a role in protecting British wildlife. Whether you’re planning an event and want to promote your brand and the environment simultaneously, reimagining your garden and want to plant the right type of wildflowers or simply want to do your bit for the environment, planting wildflowers is a simple and impactful step.
