Gardening for Wildlife

More and more people want to "do their bit" to protect wildlife and it's surprising how much can be done in even a small garden. The right flowers can attract butterflies and bees. Birds can be encouraged with boxes and pruning at the right time. Hedgehogs can make your garden their home with the right habitat. Even a tiny pond can provide refuge for dragonflies, frogs and grass snakes.

A real benefit of wildlife in your gardens is the effective reduction of pests. Ladybirds devour greenfly and other aphids. And a single hedgehog can eat over 50 slugs in one night.
