Even a small back yard garden can become a haven for wildlife, that is my experience. Of course I avoid using chemical fertilizers or pesticides. I do not feed the birds. A small water bath for the birds attract as many as 15 bird species in my garden. They feed on insects, butterfly larvae and have created their own food chain.
Thank you so much for the compliments, dear Ruth. My main blog tells the story of the garden at Barleycorn, whereas the other three are photo blogs of... our garden; plants and gardens on my travels, and my paintings, which means anyone can look through them quickly.
In 1990, as we were driving through a little village, I noticed a quaint old barn with a corrugated roof, and a newly-built house adjacent to it. They were standing on a large plot of land, full of pernicious weeds - a corner of a farmer's field, in fact. Then we saw the "For Sale" sign. Four months later we moved in and decided to create a garden for wildlife.
