A nature-friendly garden is designed to support and attract wildlife while providing a pleasant and enjoyable space for you to relax in. The aim is to create habitats to invite local, declining species of plants and animals.

Having a nature-friendly garden not only creates a pretty atmosphere to let you enjoy nature in your own backyard but it has many environmental benefits. Inviting wildlife to your garden helps protect and preserve the natural ecosystem and can strategically help to control pests and weeds whilst expanding the biodiversity in your local area. Not only would you improve the air quality, creating a healthier garden for yourself but also helping the long-term sustainability of our planet.

Ways you can make your garden nature friendly:

• 1. Plant native species that are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions. There are
  many U.K. native species like the Pasqueflower and the Lilley of the Valley.
• 2. Create a variety of habitats. Add areas of dense shrubs and trees, open grassy areas
  and ponds with rock piles to your garden, inviting many species like hedgehogs, frogs, insects and rabbits.
• 3. Hang up a bird feeder. Different seasons and types of seeds will attract different birds bringing lots of new faces to your garden.
• 4. Decorate with a birdbath or a fountain. Birds that don't feed on seeds are often attracted to water features.
• 5. Create areas that allow you to enjoy your garden while respecting the wildlife and plants.
  Paths and seating areas are a great idea to avoid ruining natural habitats
• 6. Create a colourful nectar-rich vertical flower wall to attract butterflies.

All these benefits to both you and the environment and you have all the choice you want with
design from choosing your favourite species to the layout of the space.
