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 MoreLarge garden, small house or small garden, big house?

Comments (10)Thanks C J Gardens. The updated photos have been added to the project. They are taken 4 months after planting. There are still some gaps, as the client wished to let the garden grow and add plants herself; a process that is ongoing.
