Wildlife

Your garden can play a crucial role in supporting wildlife.

We endeavour to protect and enhance the ecology of our sites, maintaining as many of the native species as possible. Where possible species are re-located, native shrubs and trees are planted and bird and bat boxes are incorporated into design.

Your garden, once established could become the perfect home for a large number of often unnoticed creatures, both great but mostly small that form an essential part of your local biodiversity.

Preserving the wildlife in your garden

Put out seed and nut feeders for birds and keep them topped up in the winter.
Keep a pile of logs in an undisturbed corner of the garden to provide shelter for hedgehogs that are nature's perfect pest controllers!
Don't prune until the winter. The seed heads on perennials provide both food and shelter for wildlife during the colder months.
Provide additional shelter for wildlife in winter, such as nesting boxes for birds and even bats.
