Our latest venture is all about demonstrating that the act of gardening can be inclusive, can improve quality of life, and increase UK biodiversity.All of these influence the way our garden will be interpreted - remember that it is a visitor attraction after all.
Our creative services team at the RSPB have been working hard to design some innovative pieces that will capture this sense of 'people power' in the garden, and across the environment more generally. Afterall, gardens cover almost a million hectares of the UK alone.
By using interpretation in this way we are not just flatly informing visitors of what it is they are looking at but actively engaging them with what they enjoy. This way, we can attempt to motivate people to change their own behaviour; by gardening in a wildlife friendly way; by volunteering; or maybe by becoming members of the RSPB.
