🌼 #QGrow March: Global Rewilding Day & Pollinator Prep
Spring is on the horizon, and March is the perfect month to get our green spaces ready for wildlife and pollinators. At Quorum Park, we’re celebrating Global Rewilding Day on 20th March by inviting tenants, staff, and volunteers to roll up their sleeves and help nature thrive.
🐝 Why Rewilding Matters
Rewilding isn’t just about leaving areas untouched — it’s about restoring habitats, boosting biodiversity, and supporting local wildlife. Early spring is critical for pollinators, who are emerging hungry after winter. By planting flowers, creating shelter, and sowing native species, we can give them a strong start to the season.
🌱 What You Can Do This March
1. Pop-Up Seed Swap & Info Sessions
We’re making it easy for everyone to get involved:
📍 Neon Building – Wednesday 18th March
📍 #QGrow Allotment – Friday 20th March (Global Rewilding Day!)
Pick up pollinator-friendly and native wildflower seeds, learn how to rewild your own space, and get practical tips for creating wildlife-friendly habitats at home or in the office. Bring a few seeds to swap if you have extras — sharing is caring!
2. Sow Pollinator-Friendly Wildflowers
Early sowings provide nectar for bees, hoverflies, and butterflies. Perfect options for North East UK:
Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)
Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)
Red Campion (Silene dioica)
Field Scabious (Knautia arvensis)
Tip: Scatter seeds thinly on prepared soil, lightly rake, and water gently. Many will overwinter naturally and bloom throughout spring and summer.
3. Refresh or Build Wildlife Habitats
Log piles – perfect for beetles, hedgehogs, and frogs.
Bug hotels or insect bricks – provide early shelter for pollinators and beneficial insects.
Leave seed heads and leaf litter – seeds feed birds, and leaves provide cover for insects.
4. Prepare Early Flowering Bulbs
Plant or check early nectar-rich bulbs:
Crocus
Snowdrops
Hellebores
These flowers support pollinators that are active as soon as the weather warms.
