Our Gardens Matter Statement

My name is Scott J Millin, you may know me as the author of The Easy-care Garden Book. I founded Our Gardens Matter as a response to the pressing environmental challenges the UK is currently facing. Our gardens serve as a sanctuary for wildlife, promote a cleaner environment, and enable us to lead healthier more sustainable lifestyles. As a society, we must unite and take action to safeguard our environment and create a future where our gardens, with everything else on this planet, hold significance.

Our Gardens Matter is a platform that aims to raise awareness about the importance of gardens in our lives and the environment. Not only do I believe that gardens are a source of beauty and relaxation, but similarly a vital component of our ecosystem. They provide a habitat for a diverse range of species, including birds, insects, and small mammals, maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystem.

Moreover, gardens play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of climate change. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reduce the urban heat island effect, and improve air quality. Using sustainable gardening practices, we can reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.

At Our Gardens Matter, I recognize that protecting our environment is a collective responsibility. We must work together to make the necessary changes to safeguard our planet’s future. By taking small steps, such as planting native species, reducing water usage, and composting, we can make a significant difference to the environment.

In conclusion, Our Gardens Matter is committed to promoting the importance of gardens in our lives and the environment. I believe that by working together, we can create a future where our gardens, and everything else on this planet, hold value and significance.
