Wildlife gardens
With the cities growing in size, the always increasing number of inhabitants, and the green belts savaged for the construction of new developments, it’s more and more common that people nurture the desire of creating around their homes a more natural and diverse environment. Butterflies and bumble bees, birds and hedgehogs can give the feeling, at least for few hours, of living in a closer contact with nature, in a better world. But how to create a garden which can sustain wildlife?
Establishing a garden
Planting a new garden may be a simple task. Pretty much all the contractors and sole traders would be able to do it, even if with different grade of quality. All in all, what one needs to do is to dig some holes, chuck a plant in each one, and cover the holes properly. Said so it sounds quite simple. But if planting a garden is simple (and it is not), establishing it is all another kettle of fish.
