WILDLIFE GARDENING

Birds will have started to pair up so while you are gardening make sure to avoid disturbing nesting birds. Keep birdbaths topped up with fresh water and regularly clean table tops and feeders as germs will spread as more and more birds use them.

Sow or plant a wildflower patch in your garden to attract and feed wildlife. St Bridget Nurseries' garden centres stocks a huge selection of wildflower seeds, plants and grass seed mixes that would be ideal plus as a Devon Wildlife Trust, Silver Level Approved Garden Centre their staff are extremely knowledgeable on wildlife gardening.
