Birds & Wildlife
A wide range of birds and other wildlife is crucial to any garden. As well as being nice to look at, birds, bees, butterflies, worms and other beneficial insects play a vital role. Bees pollinate flowers, birds eat pests like slugs and snails, ladybirds eat aphids and worms aerate the soil. Attract as many as possible to help your garden thrive!
