- Synopsis
- The charming story of how a wildlife enthusiast designed and planted a wildflower meadow.Meadows support large populations of plants, insects, birds and other animals, and are extremely important in maintaining the ecological diversity of our countryside. Many of the species that farmers and gardeners consider to be weeds, such as the oxeye daisy, are actually host to numerous other forms of wildlife.Inspired by the idea of doing something positive for their local environment, Yvette Verner and her husband Mike bought a small field close to their home in the south of England. With the bountiful assistance of nature they created a beautiful wildflower meadow, which now attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including badgers, deer and a multitude of birds and butterflies. In We Made a Wildflower Meadow, Yvette tells the heart-warming story of how they designed the layout of their meadow, and then selected and planted wild flowers, trees and hedges. Filled with practical advice, this delightful read also describes the many benefits to creating a space dedicated to helping the environment and wildlife-watching. Join Yvette and Mike on their journey, and delight in the wonders of supporting these important wildlife habitats.
