TREES
Trees make up the framework of our wildlife garden,giving height and structure,while providing cover for wildlife too. Even in our fairly small garden,we have managed to squeeze a surprising number of trees.We have planted these around the garden`s boundary, to create a belt of cover around the edges of the plot,within which wildlife can travel in relative security.
We have chosen our trees because of their value to wildlife.If our garden was large enough we would love to be able to plant an
mini woodland,but we have been sensible when choosing them,
because you have to be realistic and work with the space that you have available.
| Trees can add interest all year round. |  |
Many trees in my garden bear fruit or berries that provide food for wildlife |  |
Trees like Holly and Hawthorn provide a safe nesting place within their prickly foliage |
