Pictures taken 7 years apart. Before I realised a perfect lawn looked nice but was actually a biodiversity wasteland, and the value of wildlife gardening and #nomowsummer #gardenshour

'Scientists say this is an alarm bell for how fast climate change is happening.'

It was revealed yesterday that on Monday, earth had its hottest day ever recorded! 🌡️🌎🔥

Fantastic work is taking place within communities thanks to live long learning & @AlpSwansea and we @gcsgreenhwb @gowercollgeswansea have been fortunate enough to be part of this process, working down in the ARC centre in Blaen-Y-Meas. #community #greenskils #beforeafter

@LGSpace Here @GcsGreenHwb we couldn't agree more! that is why our students learn the wonders of insect hotels as well as the benefits of our bio-diverse pond!! 🦎🐞🦋

GIANT AFRICAN SNAILS are the new mascots of @GcsGreenHwb fun fact!! with about 33 teeth per row and maybe 80 or so rows, they form a multitoothed ribbon called a radula

Dear politicians and water companies, We all depend on healthy rivers, streams, wetlands and seas. So does a cascade of wildlife. So please replace sewage, pollution, plastic and over-abstraction with protection, responsibility, respect and rewilding 💦

[GCSGreenHwb @GcsGreenHwb]

@sophiehowe A bit like we're starting to do @GcsGreenHwb! #CircularEconomy

Truth. To. Power.
Please watch this thread tweeps.
This is the choice our leaders, our media and the fossil fuel industry continue to make. Please don’t turn away, please lean into the discomfort. With action there is hope. Make your voice heard. Make it loud.

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

Avoid watering grass in dry weather - sprinklers can use as much water in one hour as a family uses in 24 hours. To keep grass looking good, mow less often - long grass stays green, and is a cool refuge for wildlife.

#NoMowMay has swept over @GcsGreenHwb leaving the grounds @GowerCollegeSwa looking rather shapely! #nature #bee #pollinators

[Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 @_JoelAshton]

For anyone who thinks that #NoMowMay is about leaving your grass to look scruffy, untidy and unkempt. A walkthrough of one of my client’s #wildlifegarden, embracing #NoMowSummer. You absolutely CAN have #nature friendly, yet retain an element of formality…😍👇🌱🐝 Perfection 💚

Fancy growing carrots in a bowl?

[GCSGreenHwb @GcsGreenHwb]

Nasturtiums ar gyfer peillwyr a gorchudd tir (ac i fwyta!) a gwestai chwilod ar gyfer rheoli pla yn naturiol. Mae bioamrywiaeth yn allweddol i ddatblygu ecosystem gardd iach. #bioamrywiaeth #growyourown #ladybirds

[GCSGreenHwb @GcsGreenHwb]

Nasturtiums for pollinators and ground cover (and to eat!) and bug hotels for natural pest control. Biodiversity is key to developing a healthy garden ecosystem. #biodiversity #growyourown #ladybirds

[Rob Smith @RobsAllotment]

Here come the tomatoes!!
They were started early thanks to lights and heat, all powered by our solar panels and storage batteries 👍🏻
