Wildlife welcome
Q What’s the best way to welcome wildlife into my garden? A Any space can provide a vital mosaic in the landscape, particularly for many of our declining species. Choose planting schemes comprised of nectar-rich flowers, plant trees and border your garden with dense shrubs and hedges. Add a sloped pond to provide homes for amphibians and reptiles, and also a vital drinking and bathing source. Create woodpiles and compost heaps, and avoid pesticides by choosing non-toxic or non-chemical alternatives.
