The Wildlife Gardner is a book which helps you to create wildlife
habitats in your very own garden, and is very handily split into
sections on shelter, food and water. Kate gives advice on the best
nectar and pollen plants to grow, dos and don'ts of bird feeding and
organic methods of pest control. There are also 10 step-by-step projects
that will help encourage wildlife into your garden, such as: creating a
bumblebee nester, making a green roof and building a hedgehog box. With
step-by-step pictures to help you follow the instructions, these homely
creations are all achievable in a weekend and are suitable for even the
smallest gardens.
Also included is a mini field guide, which will help you to identify the
birds and other creatures that you are likely to spot in your garden.
Kate gives tips on particular species, explaining what to look out for
and how to cater for specific birds, mammals, bees, butterflies, moths
and pond life.
The Wildlife Gardener is a passionately written, practical book that is
essential reading for those who would like to make homes for wildlife in
their garden.
