About us
The Wildlife Garden Project is a small CIC with big dreams. We want every garden to be a wildlife garden, and we're doing everything we can to make that happen.
Why we created the Learning Hub
So many people care about wildlife, but aren’t sure where to start.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by mixed advice, lack of time, or not knowing which actions actually help biodiversity.
This learning hub was created to change that.
Our goal is to give you simple, friendly, practical guidance that helps you make real progress in your garden to support your local wildlife.
Welcome to the Learning Hub.
The Wildlife Garden Project Learning Hub is your dedicated space to learn, connect, and grow your confidence in wildlife gardening, no matter your experience, budget, or the size of your outdoor space.
Here you’ll find our live talks, Q&A sessions, and our upcoming podcast, all designed to help you take meaningful, joyful action for wildlife right where you are.
Whether you’re completely new to wildlife gardening or looking to deepen your understanding, this is the place to begin.
Learning with us
There are lots of ways to learn with us.
Here in our Learning Hub, you can get more in-depth support with our expert-led events and masterclasses, or by becoming a member of our Wildlife Garden Community.
If you’re looking for free wildlife gardening advice, you’ll find our articles, videos, monthly wildlife gardening guides and other resources over on the main Wildlife Garden Project website.
