Go Wild For Worms

This year Wild About Gardens is going wild about worms! These wriggly fellows are well known to gardeners all over. At first glance they might not seem particularly special, but they’re essential for our soils and wildlife. There are no less than 29 earthworm species in the UK and each one has an integral role in our ecosystem. It's time to take action for the worms in your garden!

The Wildlife Trusts and the Royal Horticultural Society set up Wild About Gardens to celebrate wildlife gardening and to encourage people to use their gardens to take action to help support nature. Many of our common garden visitors – including hedgehogs, house sparrows and starlings – are increasingly under threat. But together we can make a difference – help us turn the UK’s estimated 24 million gardens into a network of nature reserves, and invite our wildlife back.e in our ecosystem. It's time to take action for the worms in your garden!

It was decided that 2018 was the year to go #WildForWorms and this fantastic booklet was put together with input from the Earthworm Society of Britain and Natural History Museum, London.
