Every home needs a garden, not just to enhance the atmosphere by colour sound or smell but to revitalise the oxygen around your home helping you and your family to live a healthier lifestyle and to help save our planet.
If you doubt the importance of your own garden as a potential haven for wild flowers, insect life, small animal and bird life, think about the massed green patchwork that’s visible from the air, even in built-up areas.
Gardens of every kind tuck themselves round buildings and become vital conservation sites. Now that one in every eight plants in the world is threatened with extinction and many insects, birds and animals are short of habitat, we have to change the way we garden and view our own gardens as important mini-nature reserves, not neat garden rooms.
