Wildlife Gardening by Dave Goulson

A compact, practical guide showing how even small gardens can become rich wildlife habitats by working with nature rather than against it. It explains the ecological reasons for declining wildlife and gives clear, hands-on advice — from choosing native plants and creating ponds, log piles and wildflower areas to avoiding pesticides and managing lawns — to attract pollinators, birds, amphibians and beneficial insects. Written for ordinary gardeners, it combines simple steps, seasonal tips and conservation-minded principles to help readers boost biodiversity and enjoy the rewards of a lively, wildlife-friendly outdoor space.
