Description
In this brief introduction, Jamgyal considers what is involved in designing a garden area that supports wildlife throughout the year. Explore the three basic needs of wildlife (food, shelter and water), and consider which native and adapted plants best support those needs. Look at several different kinds of landscape design, and how they function to support the health of both wildlife and humans.
