Use these pages to find the information you need to create habitat that will sustain your local wildlife.
I've done all the spadework, to provide you with lots of information about wildlife friendly gardening. My basics page tells you what it is all about. I've written a series of fact sheets which cover several subjects including what to plant to attract wild bees and moths, and herbs for the wildlife garden. I also give lists of recommended books and an extensive annotated bibliography, and suggest some high-quality gardens to visit. If you are reading this in the USA or Canada, there is a special North America page for you as well as a special North American books section in the bibliography. I believe that gardens should be places of beauty. They are also the places where many people have their main interaction with wildlife, in the form of garden birds and insects. Gardens can fulfil both roles, and with increasing urbanisation, their potential to sustain biodiversity is being appreciated. All styles of garden can be managed in a wildlife-friendly way, including formal gardens. We've done it with our garden, it's tremendously rewarding, so why not give it a try? - Marc Carlton |
