How to make a Wildlife Garden

In this video we travel to Chelmsford in Essex, where earlier this year we designed and created a wildlife garden.

Before we started work the garden consisted of a large rotting deck, lawn and a few non native shrubs with very little ecological value.

On completion of this project the garden has been instantly transformed into a wildlife rich oasis right in the centre of a modern housing estate.

The habitats encompass a wildlife pond, wildflower meadow, mixed species planting of native trees and shrubs, flowering lawn, insect hotel and herbaceous borders packed with nectar rich plants.

Just days after we finished the project broad-bodied chaser dragonflies have made the pond their home, and hedgehogs are foraging through the grassy areas, entering the garden through the special access holes and taking grasses and leaves under the new oak deck into their specially designed nesting/hibernation site.
