How to make a WILDLIFE GARDEN! The FOUR things you MUST INCLUDE!

Рет қаралды 43,320

Күн бұрын

In the UK gardens cover more land than all of our nature and wildlife reserves combined. The value of gardens for wildlife is therefore exponential!
In this video I briefly cover the four main things you should consider when trying to make a wildlife garden or improve a garden for wildlife: Providing water, Providing food, Providing access and Providing somewhere for wildlife to make their homes.
If you enjoy or have any feedback please leave a comment below. I always respond.

You are a man after my own heart Sir. For as long as I can remember wildlife and nature have been my driving force and I fondly remember as a youngster avidly reading "How to Make a Wildlife Garden" by Chris Baines and "The Joy of Wildlife Gardening" by Geoffrey Smith, two inspirational books that I still have and cherish, books that helped me shape and share my surroundings to benefit wildlife of all shapes and sizes. Thank you for your excellent channel. You too are an inspiration. Paul 👍😊

Putting in nesting material might be why I haven't seen any hedgehogs move in yet. I'll give their box a proper cleaning and hope for a visitor this fall.

Since adding a wildlife pond in our garden, our garden is teaming with life, we have a wild area and log piles, we even had an owl visiting our pond at night, various videos on my page taken with a trail camera all around our garden.

This is a beautifully filmed, inspiring video. Your tips are amazing and your garden is simply beautiful in its overgrown wildness. It looks like the perfect wildlife haven! A dream of mine has always been to live in the country and have a wildlife garden full of ponds and wildflowers and compost heaps. I have a couple of small ponds, but there are vast limitations to living in London, it's so crowded and noisy too. Your channel has fed my passion for British wildlife, and I can't wait to watch more :)

Thank you for your kind comment! Hopefully one day you can fulfil your dreams and get a house in the country. That being said, even the smallest of space can have great value for wildlife, I think it is sometimes about making do with what you have got :)

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Ive popped over to your channel to return the support. As you can see the youtube channel is slowly growing and once it gets monetised I will be using the funds raised to install wildlife gardens at schools, colleges and maybe nursing homes alongside a few other projects. I am not deluded into thinking the channel will make much money but hopefully it will continue to grow and I can continue to increase my impact towards helping wildlife.

Wow I've never seen so many newts in 1 place, how did you manage that. Great video. My only comment is for people thinking of getting a pond is to think about mosquitoes, small fish can help eat larvae but some will always survive. I hate the bloody things.
