Celebrating Somerset’s wilder places whilst raising vital funds for wildlife.
Find a Wilder Open Garden
Across Somerset, people are celebrating what they’re doing to help nature recover – and what better way to do it than with tea and cake. From window boxes to large private estates and everything in between, from school yards to burial grounds and allotments to community spaces. Whatever you’re doing, we need YOU to be the voice for nature in Somerset.
Put the kettle on, serve some cake, and let your friends, family and communities know what you’re doing for nature. Find a Wilder Open Garden below, learn from others, and help put nature on the path to recovery in your own patch.
These events are put on by our super supporters who are raising vital funds in aid of Somerset Wildlife Trust. Please attend at your own risk, and note that events listed may be subject to last minute changes. For the most up to date information, please contact the individual event organiser.
