The book begins by examining the appeal of gardening for wildlife and why it is ecologically beneficial to do
so, then goes on to teach the essential principles for creating wildlife-friendly habitats.
Creature-by-creature it looks at how to attract the most popular type of animals to your garden,
covering birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles, insects and invertebrates, and unusual native plants
like mosses, ferns, fungi and lichen. It focuses on simple ways to transform existing areas of the garden
into thriving wildlife habitats: beds and borders, hedges, containers, walls and fences, kitchen gardens,
lawns, trees and shrubs, rock gardens and water gardens.
For those who want to take wildlife gardening to the next level, the final section provides an in-depth look
at how to create a dedicated wildlife garden, taking the author's own extensive and long-established wildlife
garden as its template.
A detailed resources section provides contact details for specialist suppliers and conservation organisations.
