61 Sutcliffe Avenue

A characterful urban wildlife friendly garden being imaginatively rewilded. The garden offers the relaxing sense of a walk in the countryside. An inviting path winds past wildflower islands, through a rose covered arch, to a pollinators paradise garden and small pond. Tree trunks creatively recycled and a chicken run are added features.

About 61 Sutcliffe Avenue

Our interest in environmentally friendly gardening started in 2014 when we made the decision to re-use all garden waste to create wildlife habitats and use various methods of composting. This new gardening habit turned into a passion leading us to discover garden rewilding, understanding the work involved but reaping the benefits of a wildlife haven.

We help the wildlife by planting nectar rich plants and placing logs throughout the garden which create wildlife communities offering shelter and food sources. Our 1/4 acre garden is shared with foxes, hedgehogs, birds, bees, butterflies, dragon flies, crickets and newts in the pond and enhanced by pretty wildflowers.
