Sustainable gardening charity Garden Organic has forged a new partnership with The Wildlife Community, an online community and shop dedicated to connecting people with nature.
Like Garden Organic, The Wildlife Community is committed to halting the dangerous drop in UK numbers of birds, insects and other wildlife by ensuring gardens and green spaces are managed in a sustainable way.
The Wildlife Community offers a wide range of sustainably produced wildlife habitats and feeders, plus plastic free gardening essentials to help gardeners and wildlife lovers attract and conserve the wildlife so important for pollination and successful food growing.
“The Wildlife Community is a fantastic resource for growers”, says Fiona Taylor, chief executive of Garden Organic. “Since the 1970s there’s been a 13% decline in overall wildlife numbers in the UK, and within individual species 41% have shown a decline in number. This is an alarming trend but as our research paper Every Garden Matters shows we can reverse this trend by ensuring our gardens are more wildlife friendly.”
“The Wildlife Community was established to provide information, expert connections and products to help attract and conserve wildlife”, says Mark Pitman from The Wildlife Community. “We aim to build a conscientious community of people and gardeners looking to protect and conserve garden wildlife. Like Garden Organic, we believe if we all make small changes the combined affect can be huge, and our planet and wildlife will thank us for it.”
Garden Organic is expecting to announce some other new and exciting partnerships soon and would be happy to speak to any companies or organisations who follow its organic and sustainable gardening ethos. Working together in partnership and putting gardens and gardeners at the centre of environmental action can only benefit our wider world.
Benefit of the partnership to members
This new partnership will mean that members of Garden Organic can benefit from an exclusive 10% discount on orders from The Wildlife Community, and this is in addition to the 10% they will also receive if they are a member of The Wildlife Community too. All member orders will result in the Wildlife Community providing a donation to support Garden Organic’s research, community and campaigning work.
