A comprehensive, single source of information on the plants and
animals that live alongside us. This updated edition features new
material on climate change, recycling and wild spaces in gardens.
This friendly handbook is full of practical advice on attracting
wildlife to your garden and encouraging creatures to stick around. A
helpful introductory section includes expert tips on green gardening,
seasonal planting, how to deal with garden predators and how to get
children involved in gardening. A DIY chapter, with a step-by-step guide
on creating projects for your garden - from building nest, bat and
hedgehog boxes to making your own pond - is also included.
From foxes to finches and from lizards to ladybirds, colour photographs
illustrate almost 400 garden species, including mammals, birds, insects,
invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, flowers, trees, shrubs and
fungi, while the comprehensive text explains everything you need to
cultivate a haven for nature.
