In the production of our Tide Collection magazines 16m2 of native woodland is created every month. The Carbon Capture Scheme helps us mitigate our carbon emissions by planting trees right here in the UK. We’ve helped fund the planting of 250,000 already! Each tree planted will grow into a vital carbon store, helping us reduce our environmental impact. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Working with Woodland trust helps us to protect the precious wildlife habitat that remains and plant the trees needed to create new homes for creatures big and small.

The owner, Trudie Willis, runs the garden on organic principles and its many habitats range from formal gardens and very productive vegetable beds to an extensive wildlife area. This includes ponds, a copse, acid grassland and a long hedge of native species. The rich biodiversity is helped by close proximity to the coast and the RSPB’s North Warren nature reserve. Reconditioned railway carriages and a chalet give a multitude of details about the garden’s creation, development and wildlife. There are also animals and a refreshment area. One beneficiary has been the Suffolk Branch of Butterfly Conservation and it has now funded a fully illustrated book about the garden, priced at £7.50. Copies can be obtained at local outlets or from the author, Richard Stewart, at 112, Westerfield Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP4 2 XW: cheque for £7.50 to ‘Richard Stewart’. The book will also be available at future garden open days. For details go to: sites.google.com-site-priorsoakbutterflygarden.
