There are estimated to be two million acres of back gardens in Britain, the potential for some of this to become a matrix of tiny nature reserves is vast. At The Wolseley Centre we have made a wildlife garden within the grounds to show visitors how they can do simple things in their own garden to encourage wildlife.

There is more to wildlife gardening than just leaving wild areas untouched, did you know that even just by choosing certain plants from the garden centre for a formal border you can help many different species.

There is not enough room on these pages to tell you everything about wildlife gardening but once you've looked through you'll find lots of useful links to keep you going!
