Wildlife
in Mind
Managing
your garden for wildlife adds an extra dimension to gardneing and is an exciting way to help out our native wildlife.
It’s not just flowers that can bring colour to your garden – birds, insects
and butterflies can all add colour to your life, while helping to care for your garden in a far more natural way.
Wildlife,
like humans, shares two basic requirements to a happy existence - food and shelter.
Pondering
A pond
is the best thing you can put into your garden to attract wildlife. All creatures need water to exist, and many choose to
live in it for all or part of the year. A pond should have shallow margins, deeper areas, gently sloping sides and plenty
of aquatic plants.
