Welcoming Wildlife
==================

 360 Photo

The Welcoming Wildlife garden invites visitors to imagine cities where wildlife is not just accommodated but truly welcomed. The garden explores two approaches to city gardening: one side features a structured, modern layout, while the other embraces a wilder, more natural feel. A hazel post fence separates the two, showing how different styles can both support biodiversity.

Key features include a hedgehog house, log piles, native planting, and a feature tree - designed to enrich urban spaces for wildlife. The inspiration comes from a deep belief that cities should be shared spaces, where biodiversity thrives alongside human life. As urban development continues to grow, this garden offers a hopeful vision: that with just a few small changes, our homes and neighbourhoods can become havens for wildlife. It's a gentle call to action, encouraging visitors to reimagine what a wildlife-friendly city could look like.

Plants

The carefully selected plant list includes natives and drought tolerant plants.
