Wild, wild WATER
Water is the basis for all life. Without it, you will see very little wildlife – creatures may visit your garden, but they probably won’t really interact with it. This is because water serves so many functions. It’s a place where animals wash, drink, lay their eggs, shelter, and spend part of their life cycle.
Water is vital to any garden ecosystem and is a great tool by which you can transform your garden into a buzzing, scurrying and thriving community. It doesn’t matter if you have naturally occurring water or not. You can control the amount of water you have, where you have it and how it looks, allowing you to truly create an ecosystem including this element – it can be entirely artificial, but nonetheless integral.
Water in our gardens comes in many shapes and forms. Many of us wildlife lovers have a bird bath and enjoy watching it being used on a regular basis. Birds love this feature
