Welcome to My Wildlife Garden
It is not a large garden, but it contains a surprising variety of plants and wildlife. Some of the plants were here when we arrived, some I planted, some just appeared and others have been introduced by the wildlife – here I must thank the squirrels who buried hazel nuts and walnuts.
In 2010, I photographed each plant as it flowered or in the case of non-flowering plants, when they made an attractive picture. I have not removed any “weeds” until they have been photographed, named and recorded and it’s amazing how many are attractive if left to flower. I may not have all the correct plant names but I have done my best to identify everything as accurately as possible or at least give it a descriptive name for recording.
The pond is a habitat for water loving plants and also attracts a wide variety of wildlife.
The garden is south facing and quite sunny, although there is a lot of shade from the surrounding trees.
This web site is set out by month, showing the plants that are in flower that month. There is a separate page showing the progress of vegetables and another page for some of the wildlife that we have been able to capture on camera.
I hope you enjoy browsing my website and if you can correct any names that are wrong, please email me.
