Help give birds a beautiful home with new RSPB garden hedge packs
Best4hedging have launched special, bird-friendly hedging packs that have been approved by the RSPB, for their ability to provide all the shelter and food sources that your feathered friends and other garden visitors need, all year round.

The Economy, Flowering and Ultimate bird-friendly hedging bundles, priced from £32.99 plus VAT, were created in conjunction with the RSPB’s conservation team, ensuring that the diverse range of hedge species encourage all types of birds and wildlife to flourish in support of the RSPB’s campaign to ‘give nature a home’.

The several varieties of hedging plants in each of the exclusive packs are grown peat free, providing food for birds in the form of berries, seeds and sloes and also by attracting insects to the plants.

With dense foliage perfect for nesting sites, the hedges are also a welcome home to other garden animals like hedgehogs, whilst bringing colour and ornamental interest to the garden throughout the seasons.

Gareth James, Nursery Manager at Best4hedging, says: “We’re passionate about encouraging everyone to garden for nature and our new exclusive RSPB hedge packs are an easy way to help the many types of birds and creatures in your area.

“Each hedge pack benefits your local wildlife in lots of different ways, but doesn’t overcrowd your space and looks fantastic all year round. The packs are proving extremely popular already with immediate sales as soon as they were launched on our site, which is great news and shows that people actively want to get involved in preserving the nature on their doorstep.”

Every RSPB hedge pack sold at Best4hedging.co.uk, which was selected by the RSPB as exclusive licence holder for hedging, includes a donation to the charity to help continue the mission of protecting wildlife and giving nature a home.
