Promoting garden biodiversity is a great way to support the environment and enjoy the beauty and variety of nature. There are many ways you can make your garden more bio-diverse, depending on the size and type of your garden. Here are some general tips that you can try:
- Plant a range of flowers that provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies and other insects throughout the year.
- Grow a mix of trees, shrubs and climbers, or a mixed hedge, to provide food and shelter for birds, mammals and insects.
- Dig a pond or install a water feature to create a habitat for aquatic animals such as frogs, newts, dragonflies and water beetles.
- Leave some areas of your garden wild and messy, such as a pile of dead wood, a patch of long grass or a heap of leaves. These can provide shelter and food for many species that are becoming rare in the countryside, such as stag beetles, fungi, hedgehogs and grass snakes.
- Use environmentally friendly practices to control pests, diseases and weeds, instead of using chemical pesticides.
- Bird Feeders are great way to attract variety of birds. There are many shapes and sizes in the markets but you can check out the products we have chosen below.
