More Description Create wildlife habitats and attract birds, bees, and other creatures to your very own garden: "A must-have for any gardening library." --Gardeners World
Filled with beautiful photos, this book is a practical guide for anyone who wants to make a home for wildlife in their garden--even if they don't have a lot of space. Divided into sections on shelter, food, and water, it includes:
*advice on the best nectar and pollen plants to grow
*dos and don'ts of bird feeding
*information on organic methods of pest control
*ten projects--with step-by-step pictures--that will help encourage wildlife, such as creating a bumblebee nester, making a green roof, and building a hedgehog box
Also included is a mini field guide, which will help you identify the birds and other creatures you're likely to spot in your garden. The Wildlife Gardener gives tips on particular species, explaining what to look out for and how to cater for specific birds, mammals, bees, butterflies, moths, and pond life.
"A joyous book." --Alan Titchmarsh, author of My Secret Garden
