Hedges provide important shelter and protection for wildlife, particularly nesting birds and hibernating insects.
Even a small pond can be home to an interesting range of wildlife, including damsel and dragonflies, frogs and newts.
Log piles are perfect hiding places for insects, providing a convenient buffet for frog, birds, and hedgehogs too!
Build your own bug mansion and attract a multitude of creepy crawlies to your garden.
By providing safe places for hedgehogs to live, you’re much more likely to see these prickly creatures in your garden.
Build your own bat box and give a bat a safe place to roost.
With natural nesting sites in decline, adding a nestbox to your garden can make all the difference to your local birds.
Instead of draining, make the waterlogged or boggy bits of garden work for nature, and provide a valuable habitat.
Help hedgehogs get around by making holes and access points in fences and barriers to link up the gardens in your neighbourhood.
Coastal gardening can be a challenge, but with the right plants in the right place, your garden and its wildlife visitors can thrive.
