Homes for wildlife

A wild patch is all you need to provide the perfect home for a wealth of wildlife. Let some grass grow long, allow a few leaves to pile up, build a logpile - your garden wildlife will thank you! This is a great way to attract natural predators like hedgehogs, frogs and beetles to maintain a balanced ecosystem in your garden.
