Offering gardeners, however small their garden, a chance to make a contribution towards conserving our native flora and fauna, this handbook provides information in a month-by-month format. Each monthly chapter presents an introduction to the wild plants and creatures to expect at that time of the year, straightforward instructions and a checklist for seasonal tasks, profiles of plants in bloom, and a detailed practical project (such as creating a new pond or building a nest box) aimed at encouraging more wildlife into the garden.
