This why YOUR garden and what you grow in it is so important to the survival of Wildlife:
Nectar giving flowers to feed the Butterflies, Moths, pollinating Bees etc.
Trees and shrubs for nest sites and roosts
Water to drink and bathe in, for amphibians to live in
Log piles and rough undisturbed areas for Hedgehogs, Sloworms,,Grassnakes,Newts,Frogs and Toads
YOUR help in your garden will make a difference | Amen to that nightshade.
Most people won't realise how just a few little things or changes can be of such a great help to wildlife. |
