Before and after photos of a recently completed project in St Albans. The client had asked for a smooth transition from the house leading to a dinning space, with a large enough area for the kids to play, some seating at the back of the garden where it's more shady and some storage.

Garden design - transformation to a wildlife friendly garden
Comments (14)Hi Vanessa, I have written a few blogs with advice about planting for pollinators on my web-site ,Greenwave Design. The main thing would be to reduce the size of your lawn, which is not a very wildlife friendly feature, and put in more trees, shrubs and perennial plants. Wildlife need places to live as well as food so lots of places to shelter in the garden will be helpful. Pollinators want flowers that they can sip nectar from for as long a period as possible. So flowers need to start early, with bulbs such as snowdrops and crocus, and carry on for as long as possible. Another great wildlife friendly feature is a pond, or at the very least a birdbath. If you do put in a pond it needs to have shallow, sloping sides so that wildlife can get in and out easily. There is lots of good advice on the Wild about Gardens web-site....See MoreLamb's House Garden transformation

Comments (4)Hi Isidora, thanks for your comment! I put in a Clematis Frida where the trellis meets the fence, and went back later to do bulbs (mixture of Alliums, tulips and camassia). I will have to try and get a photo in the spring...See MoreBleak Overgrown Lawn Transformed Into Beautiful, Relaxing Garden

I agree 'Light My Space' - important to make the garden usable at night. The client kindly sent through an image at night showing the lighting
