WELCOME TO MY GARDEN

A SMALL URBAN GARDEN

My wildlife garden is not a large garden and is situated less than a mile from a city centre but it contains a surprising variety of plants and wildlife. Some of the plants were here when we arrived, some planted, some just appeared and others have been introduced by the wildlife – here I must thank the squirrels who buried hazel nuts and walnuts!!

I have photographed each plant as it flowered or in the case of non-flowering plants, when they made an attractive picture. I have not removed any weeds until they have been photographed, named and recorded and it’s amazing how many are attractive if left to flower. I may not have all the correct plant names but I have done my best to identify everything as accurately as possible on at least give it a descriptive name for recording.

The pond is a habitat for water loving plants and also attracts a wide variety of wildlife.

The garden is south facing and quite sunny, although there is a lot of shade from the surrounding trees.
