Wildlife in the Natural Garden

Your very own Eden: Going wild, boosting biodiversity A little unkempt, carelessly graceful and wild at heart: that's how we like our garden(er)s. And that's how a myriad of humming, buzzing and crawling creatures like them too. This book takes you on a garden visit of a very special kind. Through remarkable photographs and in his own distinctive voice, the author takes us on a journey through his natural garden, sharing with us the incredible flora and fauna he discovers along the way. In just a few short years, a light-touch approach to gardening has led to an astounding increase in wildlife and biodiversity, which this book explores and documents throughout the seasons.  Come face to face with nature on a very personal garden tour. Discover a miraculous world in miniature that lives and thrives all around us, and feel inspired to create safe havens and habitats for wildlife in your own gardens too.   About the author   Heiko K.
