Won’t a wildlife garden look untidy?
It is not advisable to keep a wildlife garden too tidy. A wildlife garden that is well designed, while not by necessity well-manicured or over tidy, will not resemble a neglected, unkempt mess. Rather it will be an attractive, restful sanctuary of a wide variety of plants with a high wildlife value that is both beautiful and charming. If preferred, an area need not be created into a specific wildlife garden. Wildlife attracting plants can be incorporated into existing borders and extra features to provide water and shelter can be easily added to encourage additional wildlife into an established, well loved garden.
