About this event
Create your own garden Wetland with WWT
Join us for an inspiring online event with the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) and discover how to create your very own wetland at home.
Whether you have a spacious garden, a small backyard, or even a courtyard, wetlands can be designed to fit a range of spaces — and they’re one of the most powerful ways to support wildlife and improve biodiversity. In this interactive session, one of WWT’s leading wetland experts will guide you through the essentials of planning, designing and building a thriving wetland habitat at home.
You’ll learn how wetlands naturally filter water, reduce flooding risk, and create sanctuary spaces for birds, amphibians, pollinators and other wildlife. The session will cover practical tips on choosing the right plants, creating varied water depths, encouraging biodiversity year-round, and maintaining your wetland with minimal intervention.
There’ll also be a live Q&A, giving you the chance to ask questions specific to your space and climate.
By the end of the event, you’ll feel confident to start your own wetland project — creating a beautiful, living landscape that benefits both nature and you.
Perfect for gardeners, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone passionate about making a positive impact from home.
