If you want to garden with wildlife in mind, be sympathetic to your surroundings: consider the habitats around you and think about how your garden could enhance them.
Nature Street examples:
- If you live along a coastal strip and back on to a shingle beach, incorporate shingle-loving plants to complement this habitat and reduce the likelihood of it being compromised by invasive garden plants.
- If you back on to ancient woodland, don’t be tempted to tip old garden cuttings over the fence. This can be detrimental to the woodland as it adds nutrients and increases the likelihood of garden cultivar species, such as the Spanish bluebell hybridising with our native bluebell.
