That is to set aside a section of your garden which you leave completely wild and untamed. If you want to go even further, have a little pond in the middle of it. This will attract a lot of unusual wild-life to your garden, and you'll be doing your bit for conservation at the same time.


I agree Will, I like to keep a section of the garden wild, let the grass grow long, allow the wild flowers (some folks call them weeds) to grow.
But right now, I am not too keen on the budlea that is growning out of the chimney
Actually to have budlea in the garden attracts bees and butterflies. they love it.
We had a pond in our previous garden, and had fish, frogs, oh, and a little hedgehog who lived the shed.
