Gardeners are being encouraged to look beyond blooms and borders.
British Garden Centres is urging Devon gardeners to support wildlife and biodiversity in their gardens as part of its Make It Bloom campaign during National Gardening Week, which is taking place from April 27 to May 3.
The campaign aims to highlight practical steps gardeners can take to create habitats for pollinators and other wildlife, starting with curiosity and observation.
Lucy Hewitt, marketing campaigns manager at British Garden Centres, said: “Gardens spark curiosity at every stage.
“Whether it’s spotting a butterfly visiting a flower or noticing how different plants attract different insects, these small moments help people feel more connected to nature.
“By encouraging curiosity, we can help gardeners understand the vital role their gardens play in supporting wildlife.
Lucy said: “The theme of curiosity sits at the heart of National Gardening Week and aligns closely with the Make It Bloom campaign, which is designed to build confidence through friendly, jargon-free advice.
“By inspiring curiosity and encouraging people to look more closely at their gardens, British Garden Centres hopes to help gardeners better understand the wildlife around them and the positive impact gardening can have on the environment.”
National Gardening Week was launched in 2012 by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
