      I use a variety of feeders and food to bring different species of birds in, great sucess, lots of species visit every day.
      Grow calendula, buddleia, honeysuckle etc for bees/butterflies and I never touch my greenhouse borders until well into spring when all the hibernating slow worms have woken.
      Would like a pond but not enough room really, but the best part of all this is sitting with my grandchildren explaining about plants/animals and growing food
