ABOUT THE WILDLIFE GARDEN PROJECT
Imagine if everybody in the UK made just a few small changes in their garden to help our British wildlife. Think of the giant patchwork of habitats that could be created, all the new homes that could be formed, and all the mouths that could be fed. And you can do as much or as little as you like!
Here at The Wildlife Garden Project, we make video tutorials on things you can do in your garden to help wildlife: everything from making your own bird box to growing a wildflower meadow. Our website is also full of wildlife gardening tips and advice, as well as information on the species you might find in your garden.

Ceanothus are great if you have room. Protect from frost though.

Any advice for slug control?

[@bobmoshersmonsters]

Copper tape or wire helps as they don't really like to touch copper. On damp/wet nights go out with a torch and go on a slug hunt. If they're still a big problem after that you can get slug killing nematodes that apparently work well.

[@missdimples1982]

Throw them in a compost pile, if you keep doing that eventually one effected with nematodes will be in there, and will spread to the rest. Collect slugs at night with a torch
