You don't need to spend lots of time and effort helping wildlife in the garden. Here are a few simple ideas to get you started.
Put up a nest box – give a bird a home
Grow easy flowers – from spring and autumn bulbs to summer blooms
Feed the birds – hang up a feeder or get a bird table
Make a compost heap – compost your waste and enrich your soil
Leave a wild corner – leave a quiet area for wildlife
Garden with native plants – local plants should encourage local wildlife
Plant shrubs – a low maintenance way to encourage insects
