FundraiseRewildingFromeRewild a garden with Heal's small-space guideRewild a garden with Heal's small-space guide Not everyone owns a farm, but many people can loosen a lawn, leave a hedge thicker, or speak up for nature on a street or allotment. Heal partnered with a sustainability trainer to publish a short, interactive guide for gardens and other small spaces. What you can do - Open the Rewild your garden guide (up to two hours of practical learning; donation optional) - Try one change this week: longer grass edges, a log pile, a pond bowl, or night-time lighting turned down - Share the guide with a neighbours' group, school garden, or allotment committee - For hands-on garden advice locally, Heal points to practitioners such as The Natural Garden How it works The guide translates Heal's nature-led approach into steps you can finish in an evening. You do not need to donate to read it; support is welcome when you can. Why it matters Garden-scale rewilding stitches habitat into towns and villages so insects, birds, and people meet wildness between the larger landscapes charities protect.gardenrewildingguide +2
