Instead of draining, make the waterlogged or boggy bits of garden work for nature, and provide a valuable habitat.

Few of us can contemplate having a wood in our back gardens, but just a few metres is enough to establish this mini-habitat!

Coastal gardening can be a challenge, but with the right plants in the right place, your garden and its wildlife visitors can thrive.

Hedges provide important shelter and protection for wildlife, particularly nesting birds and hibernating insects.

Log piles are perfect hiding places for insects, providing a convenient buffet for frog, birds, and hedgehogs too!

Plant wildflower with seed bombs!

Surfaced spaces needn't exclude wildlife! Gravel can often be the most wildlife-friendly solution for a particular area.

With food, water and shelter scarce over the winter months, give your garden birds a treat with an edible Christmas wreath.

Woody shrubs and climbers provide food for wildlife, including berries, fruits, seeds, nuts leaves and nectar-rich flowers. So why not plant a shrub garden and see who comes to visit?
