This is a blog of a garden developing from a patch of grass to a wildlife haven. You can watch the garden grow with me and learn of interesting occurences! I have been creating a garden with wildlife in mind, and I hope to encourage people to welcome wildlife back into their gardens too. If you don't have a garden, this blog can be your garden, and you may learn of things you can do to help wildlife anyway!

I am, of course, only a begginer at gardening, but I hope to learn as I go along. I will add any useful information I collect to the blog as and when I discover it.

In the Beggining...


This is the only photo I can find that shows what my garden used to look like (yes that is a hedgehog - he's eating cheese). As you can see, it was just grass (very soggy grass), bare fence and a few straggly plants that had found their own way into the garden. There is also a patio and various patches of gravel but you can't see those here.

I always used to see birds as flashes as they passed through from one of my neighbours gardens to the next. I wanted them to land in my garden, not just fly through. So I decided to do something about it.

Very bare and boring like most new gardens!
