Choose local seeds and plants that are suitable for your soil. The Worcestershire wild life trust or your local trust can advise you.
Wild flowers belong in the wild - Before buying, check plants, seed and bulbs are labelled as being from cultivated stock.
Ask your garden centre for peat-free products and use reclaimed stone or stone substitutes. Don`t buy water-worn limestone as it may have come from limestone pavement,a threatened natural habitat.
Save water. Install water butts under downpipes outside your house.
walking through the seasons is the book i have written about local wildlife in the droitwich spa area.The book takes you through the seasons starting with winter and tells you about animals and plants.There are also eight local walks and eight recipes in the book.The final chapter tells you how to encourage wildlife into your garden.After every season there is a photo opportunity and things to see during every month.The book has been proof read and i hope to have it in various book shops soon.
Conservation for the future.
