Gardens provide masses of space for local wildlife. In fact, if you combine all gardens in the UK, they’d cover a landmass bigger than the Lake District and the Peak District put together – that’s a lot of greenery.

If you’re looking for ways to help make your outdoor area more environmentally friendly, we’ve got loads of handy tips to make a difference to your landscape. From planting wildflowers to growing your own food, each tip is quick, simple and affordable – and we’ve also got a wide range of wholesale garden supplies available at Stax on hand to help too.

Plant native flowers and trees

Native flowers are easy to grow and maintain, as well as being more resilient to pests than non-native species. They attract a wide range of insects and wildlife to your backyard, including bees and butterflies, who need all the help they can get as their numbers continue to decline.

To help your customers plant wildflowers with ease, stock up on Green Fingers Wildflower Seed Mix for an affordable and simple way to bring wildflowers closer to home.

Make homes for wildlife

One of the main reasons for wildlife to visit your garden is for shelter, so why not make a home for garden visitors? From bird boxes to bug hotels and hedgehog homes to beehives, there are plenty of ways you can make your garden that little bit cosier.

Our Ambassador Small Birds Nesting Box is a great example of how quick and easy it is to help set up a home for birds and other passers-by. Feeding birds during winter months is also an essential helping hand, so we’ve got a wide range of wholesale bird feeding products available to help.

Grow your own food

There are so many benefits to growing your own food. Not only does it reduce your environmental impact, but it’s also cheaper and more fulfilling than popping to the supermarket. You can grow plenty of fruits and vegetables here in the UK, including carrots, potatoes, apples and onions to name but a few.

Take a look at our range of wholesale vegetable seeds here, including handy display units to make it easier for your customers to make their selections.

Compost more

Not only is compost a sustainable and cheap way to bring nutrients back into your garden, but it’s also a haven for certain types of wildlife, ranging from frogs to hedgehogs and earthworms.

Stock up on the Ward Ecomax Black Compost Bin to get your customers started on their composting journey.

Go solar

Solar lights are an environmentally friendly way to bring a bit of atmosphere to your garden without consuming energy. Although they don’t bring many benefits for local wildlife, solar lights are an eco-friendly alternative to standard garden lighting options of the past.

From string lights to stake lights and lanterns, we’ve got a wide range of wholesale garden lighting on offer to suit.

To help people transform their gardens into a wildlife haven, stock up on our wholesale garden supplies at your local Stax branch. Discover everything from gardening tools to seeds, bulbs, compos, bird feeds and more.
