Wildlife thrives in many different environments. One of the best ways to attract wildlife to your garden is to offer a water source. Even if you only have a balcony to offer you could get a small bird bath which will attract plenty of birds to the areas. If you are fortunate to have a garden you could introduce a pond, again the pond can vary in size depending on the garden, you may only be able to fit a small bucket or you may be able to install a sizeable pond. When installing a pond make sure one side is sloping, you can do this by adding bricks or stones, this will aid creatures getting in and out of a pond.
Country file also suggests “Vertical surfaces, textured walls, even bin stores and the tops of bird boxes can be used to create extra habitat. Why not hang some wildflower baskets or plant low lying herbs into the cracks and crevices of your patio. Small holes drilled into fence posts can be used by solitary bees in spring or hibernating ladybirds and lacewings in autumn.”
