Wildlife Gardening: What Really Works — with Jane & Steve Page
Titchfield Village Hall (Parish Rooms), Fareham, PO14 4AQ
Wednesday 11th November 2026
Wildlife Trust ‘Wilder Garden’ Champions Steve and Jane Page talk about the discoveries, delights and dilemmas they encounter as they make more space for nature in their garden. Not a ‘how to’ talk about wildlife gardening, this is their real life account of some of the joys and challenges experienced on the way.
Pines Corner isn't a conventional garden. Built on a challenging plot dominated by mature Scot's pines, it trades tidy lawns and orderly borders for a mosaic of habitats: wildflower meadow, hedgerows, dragonfly ponds, bee hotels, log piles, a dead hedge, a mini woodland, and a "secret" garden — all designed to give bugs, birds, bees and butterflies somewhere to thrive.
This session is a rare chance to hear directly from Jane & Steve about what actually works: how they've shaped a real, imperfect suburban plot into a genuine wildlife refuge, the mistakes they've learned from, and practical ideas you can take straight back to your own garden — however big or small.
What to expect:
🗓️ 19:30 start
🎟️ Free - but please give a donation if you can afford to do so to help cover our costs
Spaces are limited — book early to secure your place.
The event runs for approximately one hour with time for questions.
Suggested donation: £3.50 per person (i.e. the equivalent cost of a cup of coffee) This covers the cost of the evening. No one will be turned away for want of a donation.
Hosted by EcoTitchfield as part of our Greening Campaign. Find out more at ecotitchfield.com.
