Wildlife garden
A wildlife garden (or wild garden) is an environment that is attractive to various forms of wildlife such as birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects, mammals and so on. A wildlife garden will usually contain a variety of habitats that have either been deliberately created by the gardener, or allowed to self-establish by minimising maintenance and intervention.
Many organic gardeners are sympathetic to the philosophy of wildlife gardening, and will usually try to incorporate some aspects of the wild garden into their own plots in order to both act as a means of biological pest control, as well as for its value in promoting biodiversity and generally benefitting the wider environment.
Habitats
Wildlife gardens may contain a range of habitats:
ponds to attract frogs, newts, toads, dragonflies, and birds
nest boxes for birds, bats, and solitary bees, hedgehogs or certain insects
log piles to provide shelter for insects, lizards, and slow worms
plants that attract beneficial insects including wildflower meadows, etc.
