We teamed up with the British Dragonfly Society to bring you our guide to creating a dragonfly friendly garden! In our video we speak to Lauren, who tells us why dragonflies need our help. She talks us through some of the measures we can all put in place to help these beautiful insects in our gardens. We cover everything you need to know to get started with your dragonfly friendly garden, including how to create or enhance your pond, what plants to choose, and how you can provide for the prey which dragonflies feast on.
To learn more about dragonflies, visit the British Dragonfly Society’s website, where you can learn about more species and look at lots of beautiful pictures to help with identifying what you’ve seen. And don't forget to send records of any dragonflies you see:

ABOUT THE WILDLIFE GARDEN PROJECT
Imagine if everybody in the UK made just a few small changes in their garden to help our British wildlife. Think of the giant patchwork of habitats that could be created, all the new homes that could be formed, and all the mouths that could be fed. And you can do as much or as little as you like!
Here at The Wildlife Garden Project, we make video tutorials on things you can do in your garden to help wildlife: everything from making your own bird box to growing a wildflower meadow. Our website is also full of wildlife gardening tips and advice, as well as information on the species you might find in your garden.
