Hedges provide important shelter and protection for wildlife, particularly nesting birds and hibernating insects.
Build your own bug mansion and attract a multitude of creepy crawlies to your garden.
Log piles are perfect hiding places for insects, providing a convenient buffet for frog, birds, and hedgehogs too!
Plant flowers that release their scent in the evening to attract moths and, ultimately, bats looking for an insect-meal into your garden.
The best plants for bumblebees! Bees are important pollinating insects, but they are under threat. You can help them by planting bumblebee-friendly flowers.
Woody shrubs and climbers provide food for wildlife, including berries, fruits, seeds, nuts leaves and nectar-rich flowers. So why not plant a shrub garden and see who comes to visit?
Caring for a pet is a rewarding experience that doesn't have to cost the earth.
Our homes and gardens have an important role in the fight against climate change. Help preserve vital peatland by going peat free.
Look for the small, white, star-shaped flowers of Common chickweed all year-round. Sometimes considered a 'weed', it is still a valuable food source for insects.
Halloween is often a great time for spooky family fun, but unfortunately it is often full of plastic.
