Wildlife Gardens


Increased use of land for development and modern agriculture practices place a detrimental effect upon the environment. Gardens can help redress the balance.

Wildlife gardening is not simply a means to allow a garden to become wild but needs careful thought and planning. At the same time the use of the garden as a recreational area must be accommodated. Very often a balance is found by having the areas designated for social use near to the house with the remainder of the garden being harmonised with the needs of wildlife.

By its very nature wildlife gardening must seek to enhance the reality of the local man made environment. Our approach is to maximize the use of the garden by the wildlife able to gain access.
