Instead of draining, make the waterlogged or boggy bits of garden work for nature, and provide a valuable habitat.

Log piles are perfect hiding places for insects, providing a convenient buffet for frog, birds, and hedgehogs too!

Plant wildflower with seed bombs!

Hedges provide important shelter and protection for wildlife, particularly nesting birds and hibernating insects.

Solitary bees are important pollinators and a gardener’s friend. Help them by building a bee hotel for your home or garden and watch them buzz happily about their business.

Few of us can contemplate having a wood in our back gardens, but just a few metres is enough to establish this mini-habitat!
