  Contains everything you need to know about bringing wildlife back into your 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 scotch 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, as long as you provide extra food in winter, and select plants that sustain insects and animals. From the best sites for ponds to the right plants to feed various fauna, this book will ensure both you and the wildlife enjoy your garden as fully as possible.
