Wyld Gardens

Welcome to Wyld Edges' regenerative gardening. We aim to make this service accessible to all, including those on low incomes. We feel the elements below are the most important in creating a low maintenance garden.

How does it work?

You choose which of the elements you are interested in, or several if you prefer, and we work with you to make your garden that little bit more resilient.

Please get in touch for price details and to book.

If you are interested in our full design service please see our Edible Garden Design page

Edible Lawns

Lawns aren't just for sitting on. They are a valuable part of any garden and they don't have to be managed with chemicals. We can show you how to create a low maintenance lawn which is edible, great for socialising, playing, and supporting wildlife.

Composting

We can show you how to recycle your kitchen and general waste without the nasty smells associated with garden compost bins. Making compost helps to build soil, returning nutrients to the soil. Kids love to see what goes on in a compost bin, making them a great, free educational resource too! You'll be surprised at what can compost.

Water Harvesting

As our summers get dryer and winters wetter due to the increased effects of climate change, how we use and store water is increasingly essential. We work with you to use exiting elements in your garden, for catching and storing water to support you and wild life. We also introduce you to techniques to reduce water use in your garden and how you can safely recycle it.

Wildlife Habitat

Research shows that 97% of our meadows have been lost since the 1930s. By including even a small patch of wildflowers in your garden you will be providing colour for wellbeing and much needed habitat. Create a zone 5 (wild) area and leave the bugs and bees free to pollinate.

Tree and Hedge Management

Trees and hedges provide secure habitat for birds and other wildlife all year long. They also provide food and wind protection. The best time to prune is between March and August, before and after the nesting season.

We offer traditional or conventional hedglaying or trimming, to tree pruning and grafting.

Weeding?

What is a weed anyway? "A plant in the wrong place"

Or is it? Weeds tell us a lot about our gardens and the soil they grow in. However these useful (and often edible), plants are not always valued. We sell our own plants for you to introduce as ground cover, to keep your soil covered and weed free till you are ready for a more permanent planting scheme. This not only reduces the need for chemicals but helps to reduce garden maintenance, protecting the soil and soil life.
