Wildlife Friendly Planting
Wild Friendly Planting
Most if not all gardeners share the love of wildlife, yet concern that some of these creatures will often damage our plants means people will distrust these wild visitors. Few of the creatures you see in the garden will cause harm to your plants or you in any way, indeed many are actually very useful to have in your garden as they do a lot more good than harm. Giving them a helping hand can not only great fun, but can involve the whole family and adds another dimension to your outside space.
Flowering Plants
Flowers look beautiful and bring welcome bursts of colour to our gardens, but they’re also a fantastic source of nectar, seeds and cover for the wildlife which lives there.
• Buddleia
• Hebes
• Lavender
• Sun Flowers
• Alliums
