One of the ideas I'm very keen on is anything that takes wildlife gardening out of the back garden and brings it into our front gardens and public spaces.

So I was delighted this week to find that the volunteers who look after a tiny park just up the road from the RSPB offices in Brighton have transformed it this year with some cornfield wildflower planting.

There are Poppies and Corn Chamomile and Corn Marigold creating a splash of colour in a part of the city that is very much concrete and steel dominated, and where colour is usually provided by graffiti.

What is also so encouraging to see is that the flowers have survived the rigours of everyday life, which in this park includes revellers at many times of day. Sometimes wild flowers can command respect in the way that other things can't.

I also love the little home-made signs helping people recognise what the flowers are.

I realise this is happening in many places around the country these days, including the RSPB's Glasgow Living Nature project as part of the wider Grow Wild partnership project - check out all the exciting things the team is doing up there to give nature a home across that vibrant city.
