Do One Thing - Sow some wildflower seeds
There are lots of easy ways to make your outside space a magnet for wildlife. Simply leaving a corner wild will have a huge impact. And the great news is research shows that the colour, movement and sound of the plants and wildlife, together with fresh air, can help us achieve a sense of well being!
Why not have a go at sowing some wildflower seeds yourself and creating your own meadow. If you don't have a garden, a pot or window box can make a big difference.
Good wild flower choices to grow in long grass include ox-eye daisy, corncockle and field poppy. For short grass, compact species like primrose, violet and speedwell work well. For more info about sowing wild flowers check out Breathing Places new Sow some wild flowers pocket guide.
