Hedgehogs have declined dramatically in recent decades and are considered vulnerable. Wildlife Trusts across the UK are working hard to turn things around.

We all love hedgehogs, but climate change, habitat loss and pollution are all big threats to the species, and unless we act, hedgehogs could eventually go extinct. To draw attention to this prickly fact, we’ve teamed up with local people to place 50 hedgehog sculptures around Epsom and Ewell. We want to help people imagine a world where hedgehogs have bounced back to their former glory!

The Renters' Retreat is The Wildlife Trusts' first sponsored garden at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, and is part of the 2023 exhibition. The design from garden designer Zoe Claymore is inspired by her own experience, feeling limited by renting a property and facing a lack of advice out there for people like her to make the most of the space she had available. The garden showcases a whole host of ideas on how to garden sustainably, without digging into the soil or attaching items to the wall and could be fully transportable should a tenant move. Whilst it creates a lovely space for humans, equally important was how a rented garden coul attract and support a whole host of wildlife.
