What we do now:

We prioritise planting and horticulture across the site : Tennis in an English Garden is integral to Wimbledon and we aim to create a mosaic of different habitats for nature to thrive
We introduced a living wall on No.1 Court which incorporates flowering plant species to encourage pollinators
We planted living roofs on the Technology Services and Broadcast Pavilion roofs.
At our Community Tennis Centre in Raynes Park we have a pond, wildflower meadow, planted 180 new trees, and 200m of hedgerow
Wildflower banks make a beautiful backdrop to the player practice courts at Aorangi and at the newly completed Indoor Tennis Centre
We harvested 10,000 acorns from veteran oaks on Wimbledon Park which are growing in nurseries for replanting and over 600 over which have been donated to sites across Merton and Wandsworth
