This patch used to be “tidy.” Now it’s a foxglove forest humming with insects — all from doing less, not more. Wildlife gardening isn’t about perfection. It’s about giving nature permission. If you grabbed the wildlife gardening starter guide from my earlier post, show me your wildest corner.

At today's Heritage Ireland 2030 Summit, we enjoyed meeting archaeological & built heritage experts, plus Niall Ó Donnchú, Niamh Farren & Dr Andy Bleasdale of @npwsireland.bsky.social. On NPWS's youth outreach, Clare Bromley said, "Nature interpretation is about provoking people to feel & to think"💭

Every native plant is a little act of climate resilience. Irish growers are quietly restoring biodiversity one seed tray at a time — and we can support them. Choosing native means choosing balance. 🌱 gardeningwell.ie/climate-acti... #Biodiversity #WildlifeGardening #Gardeningwell

Everyone’s tidying up for winter — but your “mess” might be saving wildlife. Leaf piles + log piles = shelter for hedgehogs, frogs, insects. More on the website. 👇 Https://gardeningwell.ie/gardens-as-biodiversity-engines #WildlifeGardening #Biodiversity #QuietActivism #GardeningWell

Hurricane Melissa could be one of the most worst hurricanes on record for Jamaica...and it's a textbook example of how climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous: explosive intensification, slow movement, and massive rainfall. If you know any there, please make sure they’re prepared 🙏

Mary Reynolds and her #WeAreTheARK movement remind us that sometimes the best thing we can do for nature is to step back. In our Co. Meath community garden, wildflowers, fruit trees & people share the same space — the land remembering how to heal itself. 🌿 #ListenToTheEarth #QuietResilience

In the garden related news. Well, I suppose there’s sticks and grass involved. Zack’s team Saint Patrick’s Stamullen are Meath under the 13th division D Hurling champions! #spéirgorm

The “Listen to the Earth” post has travelled far. Maybe you know someone who listens quietly — a neighbour, teacher, child, or gardener who notices the small things. Tag them here — people who listen should be heard. #ListenToTheEarth #WildlifeGardening #QuietActivism #NatureConnection

Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway listens with honesty. His work reminds us that hope for nature isn’t naive — it’s necessary. Calling out the damage is part of fixing it. #ListenToTheEarth #QuietResilience #IrishNature
