It’s an easy sell to people – less work, more for nature – with very significant results for minimal effort. People are often surprised with the diversity of flowering plants that emerge from what they thought was ‘just grass’ and allowing these wildflower species that have been hiding in your lawn to reach their true form has many benefits.

I adored nature from a young age and was always playing outside and wanting to learn about the world around me, so to me volunteering feels a bit like a cathartic form of grown-up play to me.
