We are looking forward to a month of activity in the wildlife garden. We will be planting some more hedge and laying some turf in the wildlife garden area. A small area of this grass will be allowed to grow long. This is really important for lots of insects including several species of butterfly which lay their eggs in long grass and their caterpillars feed on it too. The patch of long grass needn't be large nor take up too much valuable lawn area in order to provide some important space for wildlife.
Also in January, we are looking forward to the installation of our green-roofed shed. For people who don't have much space to garden, roofs are another place to think about using for this purpose. There are many ways of doing this and a whole wealth of information is on the web about how you might go about it.
