By owning a wildlife-friendly garden, you are making your contribution to the overall health of the planet. Gardens in Britain, if added together, take up a vast ammount of space and now with more fields and common-land being used up for housing and retail, its is important that we don't make our gardens unhabitable, to which lots of animals depend. I personally couldn't think of anything worse than seeing less and less of the great Brittish wildlife. So play your part in your garden and help maintain a healthy environment.
