When we garden, we give a little bit of ourselves back to nature, digging our hands deep into the earth and cultivating plants and produce. Introducing wildlife into your garden is endlessly rewarding and you can create a tiny, functioning ecosystem with its own small-scale food chain. Whether you have a tiny balcony or a sizeable plot, a quaint courtyard or a huge back garden, you will find in this book how simple it is to become a host and friend to local wildlife with birds stopping by for a bath, butterflies drifting through the air, bees coming in for a meal, or frogs warming up in the sun. The chapters are organised by Birds and Feeding, Butterflies and Moths with hospitality tips, wine ropes and an evening light trap, Hedgehogs, Squirrels, Rabbits and Other Small Mammals and making natural shelters, Amphibians and Reptiles and making wet habitats, Bees and Wasps by building your blooms and making poke holes and leaving out sugar water, Dragonflies and Damselflies making a waterlily project and rockpiles, Minibeasts making a motel or your own wormery, and finally Fungi and Moss investing in woodchips and discovering lichen support tactics. This section also includes growing and harvesting edible mushrooms. 144pp, gorgeous colour photos and little recipes and fact boxes throughout this beautifully designed book. 19.7 x 17.7cm.
