Gardening for nature, ourselves and the planet - a two-day conference of ideas
At a time of struggling wildlife and rising temperatures, what can we do?
We’re gathering together some of the most inspiring gardeners, designers and practitioners to show how gardens can play a crucial role in tackling the crisis that threatens us all.
We’re shifting the dial beyond ‘nature-friendly’ to show how applying a rewilding mindset to a garden or green space can create a deeper, more dynamic habitat for wildlife, greater resilience to climate change, and absorb more carbon. While at the same time providing a place of beauty, peace and recovery for us all.
Wilding Gardens is a Conference for anyone with a garden, schoolyard, balcony or window box, who manages or has access to a park in a city, a verge in a village or an orchard in the country.
The Wilding Gardens Conference is in partnership with the Planning, Property and Environmental Department at the University of Manchester.
