The increased biodiversity has made the garden a more appealing place to visit and sit. The pond is a habitat for aquatic invertebrates, frogs and newts, and a water source for birds and mammals. Hedging and the butterfly garden have created a better habitat for attracting birds and insects and the bog garden and meadow have further increased the garden’s wildlife value.
