Cardiff is full of Guardian Creatures - the animal wall, Billy the Seal... and lots of dragons! What have we missed?

We're running a community art project to design new creatures to become murals around the city - want to get involved? Find out how here: https://t.co/ZfBnNARZom

Dirty? Neglected? An eyesore? A breath of fresh air? A refuge for biodiversity? In Bordeaux, plants are allowed to grow on pavements as pesticide use has been banned since 2017. Residents have had to learn to live with "wilder-looking" streets... 🌱🌾🪲 https://t.co/i7FdYTdvEc

People from across #Cardiff & beyond made pompoms representing the 700 native species that thrive on verges & amenity grass - if allowed to! Delighted to see changes to @cardiffcouncil mowing regime & signage, hoping for a more joined up & ambitious future approach. #craftivism

[Green Squirrel @BeMoreSquirrel]

Here is our glorious #pompom meadow - a collective act of #craftivism to support biodiversity in our city!

Thank you to all who have taken part & commented on @cardiffcouncil response to our #SaynoToTheMow campaign.💚
