Wouldn't it be exciting to encourage wildlife to take up residence in your garden, welcoming hundreds of creatures that buzz, scurry, slither and snuffle, creating a haven to provide them with food and shelter? Christine and Michael Lavelle describe the habitats, feeding preferences and behaviour of our garden wildlife, including their life cycles and how you can supplement their natural diet. They explain how to select the best plants for the creatures that live in your area, with practical advice on cultivation, propagation, and the types of wildlife they attract. A directory of over 200 species makes the process clear and simple and every plant is accompanied by a full-colour identification photograph. Each entry explains how to grow the plant and which types of wildlife will benefit. This book's wealth of information and beautiful photographs will appeal to gardeners and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
