Plants for Wildlife

One of the great things about gardening is how beneficial it is for our animal friends. Whether it be bright berries for birds like redwings and fieldfares, pollen for insects like bees and butterflies, or shelter for mammals like dormice and hedgehogs, the plants in this collection are all valued for their wildlife appeal.
