Not as much hedgehog material as I’d like, but interesting all the same.

An interesting little book that can be dipped into or read from cover to cover. Even if you learn little in the way of new facts, you will find inspiration here. You will make that log-pile and that small water feature that you always meant to. I learnt some strange new facts such as the one about frog’s eyes; I won’t tell you, read it for yourself!

A cute, interesting book filled with various pieces of advice for gardens and the fauna they attract.

Easy clear format with lots of useful information and ideas.

[Artemis · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a great book until about 2/3 through where it, twice, recommended ignoring the advice of experts.

Felt pretty confused by that.

This being said, it is a great way to generate ideas for your garden, and I am glad I read it.

Fick boken på svenska ”Så hjälper du djuren i din trädgård” av dotter Lisa på min födelsedag och känner mig nu inspirerad! Hygelkultur, våtbädd, humlebon och fågelmatning. Stubbar får stå kvar, komposten skall utnyttjas mer. Mycket att göra när pensionärslivet närmar sig!
