Meet Guillaume, Biodiversity Ambassador at Poppies!

🌿 Meet Guillaume, Biodiversity Ambassador at Poppies! 🐝

At Poppies, we believe that a thriving community is one that makes room for all kinds of life – not just people!

Guillaume wants to make Poppies a welcoming home for urban wildlife and plants: from garden birds, bees and butterflies to bats and spiders. His ambition is to encourage native plants and create more space for nature, even if that means letting gardens grow a little wilder and leaving spiderwebs undisturbed. After all, spiders and bats are wonderful natural mosquito controllers!

There's already plenty of life at Poppies, with gardens, insect hotels, nest boxes, bumblebees and spiders. Guillaume hopes to build on this and inspire residents to appreciate and protect urban biodiversity.

Because in our cities, every green corner counts. 💚
