Excellent little book for both new and established gardens
I bought this book a couple of years ago and - despite all the other great books out there on the same subject - I always come back to this one. It is very well structured and written in a style and format that is easy for anybody to understand and apply to their own needs. The plant, shrub and tree references at the back of the book are really very useful. My own garden is now extremely wildlife friendly and much of the influence to both get me started and continue to maintain the garden are down to this excellent little book.
