Wildlife garden
Location: Beeston
I created the perfect wildlife garden for insects and birds to visit. A vibrant planting scheme allows different kinds of bees, butterflies, and moths to feel safe within the garden. A small wildife pond centers the garden attracting countless insects, hedgehogs and birds. After a few weeks I went back to garden and the sound of birds was unreal. Biodiversity increased instanty when the planting began, more insects soon after and birds followed in suit.

Wildlife pond restoration with a deep filled bog area
Location: Matlock, Derbyshire
This wildlife pond was in need of restoration. A new liner and a change of margins provided a new space for amphibians and birds to thrive. Built on a very slight slope meant that the pond tilted into a bog area behind large rocks. The customer was keen to plant the pond however I gave them details of whats best to plant in certain areas.
