In Sussex, the allotment tradition continues to thrive, not just for recreation and food production, but important urban spaces for nature.

Did you see our new wildlife survey for our gardens and greenspaces members? We've had a fantastic response to one of our first steps to understanding the biodiversity in your spaces.

Our Gardens and Greenspaces Coordinator, Amy Hurn, visits High Beeches, to find out more about their fabulous biodiversity and their work on nature recovery.

Suzi Turner, Deputy Head Gardener at Knepp and Gardens and Greenspaces Ambassador, on autumn 'mess' and how to avoid tidying away hidden habitats.

Sussex is one of the most wooded regions in the country. Brush off your boots and explore the best of the autumn colour across the corridor.

The good news, from my experience, is that a wild garden – especially a mature one – can be extraordinarily resilient and resistant to even very prolonged periods of drought. Even through months of heatwave everything stays green and lush; no plants seem to show stress, and nothing needs watering.

This is your chance to be part of a pioneering project benefitting nature recovery in Sussex and beyond. Your pledges - small or large - will help establish a nationally-significant 100-mile corridor for wildlife, regenerating our local ecosystems for years to come.
