Mini meadow creation
Big or small we can create and manage for you a perennial or annual wildflower meadow or both. This will create a feeding haven for are much loved bees and butterflies as well as many other insects. With mono culture agriculture these habitats have been lost and our insect numbers have dropped dramatically in turn having a knock-on effect to the rest of our wildlife

Hedgehog homes

Reptile Habitats
