Why 1 Metre Matters™?
1 Metre Matters™ is an inspiring project led by On The Verge and the Powys Nature Partnership, encouraging everyone to dedicate just one square metre to wildlife. This initiative forms part of the Powys Nature Recovery Action Plan, aiming to restore and connect habitats, protect insect life, and rebuild biodiversity.
As On The Verge Chair Martin Draper says:
“Insects are individuals too — each with their own personality. By giving them space, we give nature a future.”
When you buy this bundle, you're helping to fund this mission — one metre at a time.
What You’ll Receive
The Garden Centre will choose the best-looking, pollinator-friendly plants available at the time of dispatch. Wildlife favourites may include:
- Echinacea
- Rudbeckia
- Salvia
- Oregano
- Thyme
- Lavender
Every bundle is different — picked fresh for the season — and tailored to support bees, butterflies, and other vital insects.
