Gardening

 

Gardening with wildlife in mind provides ideal educational opportunities.  Even the smallest pond will attract a vast number of species. 

Creating a garden pond and planting a selection of native wildflowers is one of the simplest and most effective ways of attracting a vast array of wildlife to your garden.  If you do this, children will delight in chasing butterflies, catching frogs and looking for signs of hedgehogs or mice.

At dusk, look out for mice amongst the undergrowth.  This mouse is regular visitor to a bird table using intertwined plants to reach the goodies and skip away again!

Garden ponds are simple to create and allow even the most reluctant gardener to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
