Wildlife Gardening In an English Garden

Many gardeners today would like to create more wildlife-friendly gardens, but may feel restricted by their situation, or put off by assuming that they will have to make huge changes to an established plot. This inspirational and practical book will dispel any myths about wildlife gardening, and encourage everyone, wherever they garden, to invite wildlife to share their outdoor spaces. There are practical ideas for gardens of all sizes and in varied situations, with a special chapter on wildlife gardening in towns. The smallest shady garden can support a range of wildlife and even a window-box or hanging basket in an urban apartment block can make a difference, if you ensure ingredients like extra food in winter, plants that sustain insects and bright or aromatic plants that are planted to attract animals and keep them returning. From the best sites for ponds to the right plants to feed various fauna, this book will ensure that both you and the wildlife enjoy your garden as fully as possible.Ryrie, Charlie is the author of 'Wildlife Gardening In an English Garden', published 2004 under ISBN 9781870673495 and ISBN 1870673492.
