At Canons Ashby, planting takes place with nature and wildlife in mind, as well as for visitors. Plants are selected that insects and birds will love, which are grown from seed in the local area so there is less of an impact on the environment.
The team at Canons Ashby are on a mission to improve biodiversity in the green spaces here. By planting wildflower plugs, throwing seed bombs with visitors, and providing safe habitats for insect, bird and animal life, we hope to provide a welcoming and healthy home for all kinds of creatures.

Canons Ashby is not one of the larger NT properties but no matter because in this case 'small is beautiful'! We usually visit every year but in this case did not visit in 2020. The gardens, both flower & vegetable, are well kept & weed free so my compliments to the garden staff.
