Bradfield Woods National Nature Reserve,
Bury St Edmunds , SuffolkI wanted to thank you for the excellent Wildlife Gardening course on Saturday. It was wonderfully managed and I thoroughly enjoyed it; I also got far more out of it than I thought possible. Since the course I have begun to change the way I garden. I have already made some significant changes to the way I manage different areas of my garden - even down to the way I build my compost heap - and really feel I have a far better understanding of what I need to do to make my town garden as wildlife friendly as possible."21 April 2018, Brooke House, Ashbocking
