WILDLIFE

What wildlife would you like to attract your garden?

• Hedgehogs
• Squirrels
• Nestlings and Fledglings
• Bees

Hedgehogs

As their name suggests, hedgehogs love to hide in the leafy undergrowth of hedges. Even if you don’t have hedges in your garden you can still attract hedgehogs by leaving some shrubby areas in the corners of your garden and cutting a small hole in your fence for easy access.

Squirrels

Squirrels are acrobatic opportunists when it comes to sneaking food from our feathered friends. As many bird lovers know, they often find ingenious ways of breaking into bird feeders. To keep the peace in your garden make sure you have separate feeding stations. Squirrels especially enjoy peanuts in shells and sunflower seeds but mostly our blended squirrel food.

Nestlings and Fledglings

There’s nothing better than watching your favourite birds raise a family in your own garden. All birds nest differently. Robins like open boxes, whereas blue tits need a fully contained box with a small opening. We have a full range of nest boxes to accommodate a wide variety of birds and help make them feel at home.

Bees

Attracting pollinators to your garden encourages biodiversity and helps keep your garden flowering year on year. Not only do bees pollinate much of our native flora, they are also responsible for about one-third of our daily diet! While there are about 20,000 different species of bees recent studies have shown that a third of British wild bees and hoverflies are in decline.
