Biodiversity

Protecting nature is incredibly important, we can all consider making small changes in our own gardens to play our part. 

Planting a few more pollinator-friendly plants such as sedum, achillea, phlox and helenium can help support our declining insect and bird populations, and ultimately bring more predators to control garden pests without pesticides. 

Leaving some areas of lawn to grow long (where appropriate) can provide visual interest and a "wildflower meadow" feel to your garden can really enhance the natural beauty of your outdoor space. We often think about creating visual interest through winter with our planting and allowing some flowers to go to seed, this can also provide food for some birds.

Including a water source in your garden is also key, it supports and encourages more wildlife within your garden and can help improve your own sense of wellbeing.

Creating a garden where sections of it have wildlife in mind can help provide a peaceful and beautiful space for you to enjoy.
