      Such a great question! Best to start with some good plants that attract insects, things like lavender, ivy, foxgloves and other pollinator friendly plants. Those then attract in other animals who feed on them. You can then put in other things like nest boxes for birds, bee hotels and hedgehog houses (if you have hedgehogs). Nearly 50% of homes feed wild birds in their garden, and so putting out a feeder is always a good idea to help the birds (especially in the winter). Hopefully you can encourage more wildlife into your garden 🙂
