REWILDING BRITAIN'S GARDENS USING BLUE HEARTS

 BLUE campaign - What is it?


The campaign promotes the rewilding of our gardens, parks, road verges and school grounds. It suggests that a part of this ground is set aside and left to grow through the summer. 


A blue heart symbol, made out of recycled materials, is staked in the ground over the area being rewilded. This communicates to neighbours and friends that rewilding is in process (and that it is not just the owner or council being lazy!)

It's half term - and if the weather is anything like it is in Devon, you'll be looking for an indoor activity! So why not make a Blue Heart to decorate your rewilded patch and get your neighbours talking about rewilding.

It takes only two easy steps: 

1. Get a heart (recycled materials preferable) or make your own.

2. Paint it BLUE! 💙

Then all you have to do is step back. The best thing that we can do for our gardens and wildlife is to let nature take hold. By stopping pesticide use and leaving your grass grow and flowers to bloom, the biodiversity in your garden will increase, from insects and birds, to mammals like hedgehogs, foxes, and even badgers.

And don't forget to enjoy what you've created and keep sending in those pictures! 💙💙#bluecampaign #wildblueheart #UrbanRewilding #rewilding #ecology #nature #wildlife #plants #flowers
