Creating a Place for Wildlife in Your Garden

With Spring in full swing, many of us are heading back out into the garden to plant seeds, tidy up and get on with projects ready for the summer. If you want to make your garden a great place for nature, then there are lots of things that you can do, whether you have a large garden or a small one…

Build a Pond – Something that can really provide a great habitat in any sized garden, as well as being a great feature for a garden is a pond. A garden pond provides a home for frogs, newts and dragonflies to name but a few creatures, and it doesn’t have to be large to be a habitat.

Ponds are quite easy to create, and once done you can sit back and enjoy the tranquil feeling of being around the water.

Provide Shelter – When summer comes to an end, many creatures look for shelter when the weather becomes colder. Providing places for animals to live, such as bee and bug houses, and hedgehog houses provides a vital home for animals that struggle in the winter months.
