7. All day and all night

Gardens don’t stop attracting wildlife the minute you go to bed. Remember that different species use spaces differently during the day and night. You’ll be surprised to see what wildlife might turn up in your garden while you’re safely tucked up in bed asleep.

Nature Street examples:

  • Plants are not just useful for day-flying insects. Night scented plants offer the chance to attract night-flying insects, like moths, which help to support other nocturnal wildlife higher up the food chain, such as bats.
  • Water in your garden is not only useful in a bird bath for your garden birds. Hedgehogs, bats and bees all need water to survive, so having it available at a range of heights day and night could make a big difference.
  • Think about artificial lighting - will it disturb the creatures you are trying to attract?
