Dean’s Top Tips for a Wildlife-friendly garden:
1. Select plants that flower at different times through the year to ensure a steady supply of food for bees and other insects.
2.Don’t be too quick to clear up – piles of dead leaves or old logs can provide homes for tiny creatures.
3. Add a water source of some sort – a pond can be a haven for frogs, toads and water-loving insects like dragonflies. NB – if you have small children, ensure even the smallest pond is child-proof or covered. If in doubt, a safer option would be a small ground-level bird bath or water feature fountain, which will still provide be a drinking source for passing wildlife.
- Take one garden shaded by high trees, regularly boggy and flooding the house…
- …remove all the trees…
- …dig trenches to find the source of the water and build soakaway…
- …lay top soil and lawn = finished garden as good as new!
- Ruined lawn almost beyond repair…
- ..cleared and re-turfed.
- The finished garden, small but beautiful.
- New fence diving the garden and giving the new plants something to grow up against.
- Decking around a pond creating a great space for sitting out and making a garden more enjoyable.
- Nice new archway for climbers to grow over.
- Bare garden…
- …new beds dug…
- …corner smartened off with gravel and sleepers…
- The gravel and sleepers are covering some rough ground and unsightly drainage holes.
- 100 tiny trees planted to make a hedge and 60 lavender line the garden path…
- …they just have to grow now!
- Hard at work!
