There are an estimated 24 million gardens in the UK, so there is plenty of space for our neighbourhoods to be packed with fluttering butterflies, humming bees, and - if you’re lucky - hedgehogs, amphibians, and beetles.
Encouraging wildlife in our gardens is great for so many reasons. It provides them with safe spaces to eat, drink, and shelter. By helping them, you are introducing an ecosystem into your garden that will benefit your plants.

Great advice! We have almost a whole acre that we are creating different wildlife sanctuaries, and a lot of this info will be very helpful. One thing though, butterflies do not use those houses. You can stack limbs in different directions into a small mound, creating small cubbies that they will go into when the temps get too cold. Thank you so much for sharing!

I was about to comment on the butterfly houses as well. I've raised and released butterflies for many years now, but have never heard of the limb set-up for them before. Thanks for the idea!

This guy is so cool I like his stuff giving us lots of ideas for the coming seasons. 😊👍🏿

Hedgehogs need access to gardens. This is one area a lot of garden designers do not encourage. When I see your programs with Titchmarsh and other garden design programs I’m left bewildered why this is never supported

I had a bug hotel, was so excited when the leaf cutter bees moved in

Need to correct what you said about hedgehogs eating slugs, they actually make up a very small amount of a hedgehogs diet at around 2% which is a good thing when slugs & snails are a major cause of lungworm. A hedgehogs main diet is beetles & caterpillars, some worms too.

our back yard qualifies as "prairie" and we're finding what we thought were pests aren't really a problem... good video

I love this video

@GardenWildlife_and_timelapse 2 года назад

We are lucky enough to have a hedgehog visiting our garden, some videos on my page. Don't think they have used our hedgehog house though sadly.

I love all your ideas and quite enjoyed your video. However, one thing bird experts say now is to Not put perches on the bird houses. When there's a perch, flying predators like crows can raid the nest.

Thanks for the tips!

One summer I raised an assassin bug, and swear the little guy was fond of me. He always sat on my finger watching me and got pretty active any time I found an ant to feed him. He got killed when his jar accidentally turned over and he was crushed by pebbles.
