Description
This is an introductory course to wildlife gardening in the UK, covering the basic framework and essential concepts that go towards making a garden, wildlife friendly. This course explains:- Key principles of wildlife gardening. These are the most important aspects that every wildlife friendly garden should aim to incorporate. Because these are so important, this course explains each one in turn, with images to help convey ways to achieve them in your own garden. – Garden food chains. These are a fascinating and important aspect of wildlife gardening. This course explains what they are, and why it’s good for a wildlife gardener to know them. Understanding that, what you plant and the animals your garden attracts, your garden will send out invitations to other wildlife.- Life-cycles of some common garden wildlife. Peppered throughout this course, I will take a deeper look at certain species that are common in the UK, to get an understanding of their life-cycles, what their needs are and most importantly, what gardeners can do to help them thrive in their garden. – Explanation of what wildlife gardening is, with a working example from my own garden. Wildlife gardening is a term that’s often used, but what exactly is it? Isn’t every garden that has plants, wildlife friendly? This course will clarify what is meant by wildlife gardening. – Why we should consider gardening with wildlife in mind. Many gardeners are at odds with wildlife, especially insects and plant eating animals. This course outlines the benefits and good reasons to not just tolerate wildlife in gardens, but see the joy in supporting our incredible garden wildlife.- This course does NOT cover standard gardening advice, only concepts and the framework behind wildlife gardening. Only topics that are specifically related to wildlife gardening are covered in this course. There is no mention of how to prune, or how to plant something. This course is about the concepts and principles that go behind a wildlife friendly garden, so it doesn’t require you to have any prior knowledge of gardening either.
