Creating a Wildlife Garden

We will create a wildlife garden on local community space.

• While public space may be currently bland and void of plants, and improving stony, thin, compacted soil requires some time and effort, many wildflowers actually prefer poorer soils
• Properly planned wildlife planting can give much pleasure to local residents as well as supporting the wildlife of your local area
• Advice on starting a wildlife garden from scratch is available from The Wildlife Trusts
• Further advice for private gardens has been published by The Small Gardener
