With London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, announcing a £600,000 investment into revamping London’s green areas, gardening experts are encouraging people across the UK to attract wildlife to their gardens this year.

The team at GardenBuilidngsDirect.co.uk has urged green-fingered homeowners to adopt simple changes to their green spaces in order to help wildlife thrive.

From birds and butterflies, to badgers and bees there is a place for every animal in the garden and they can really make the difference between a space that survives and a place that thrives.

Offering water, food and shelter in various ways throughout your space will entice a wide range of beings and this can be done with little effort and cost.

A spokesperson for GardenBuilidngsDirect.co.uk said: “With spring on the horizon, now is the perfect time to get busy in the garden and bring the wildlife back.

“Whether you have a small patch of lawn, a concrete yard, or a balcony, there are plenty of small changes you can make to bring the wild back and have a thriving green space.

“Animals are much like humans in the fact they love food, especially when it’s free! By giving them a small offering of their favourite snacks, it’s like giving them a welcome invitation to your garden.”
