Gardens made for nature
Us beavers, know a thing or two about wild spaces. We are experts at making sure that everything is in balance.
Wildlife gardens don’t have to take up your entire outdoor space. It could be a small patch down the bottom of the garden, a wildlife pond or even turning the edges of your lawn into no-mow wildlife strips, it all helps!
If you want to go the whole hog and turn your garden into a wildlife friendly place to be; go for it.
We can help you design and plant a garden that will be great for you and help take a little bit of pressure off our native birds and pollinators.

BENEFITS OF HAVING WILDLIFE IN YOUR GARDEN
We all love to sit and enjoy our very own green bit of Dublin, Naas,Kildare and beyond. The problem is that many modern gardens are both sterile and lifeless, they just have no soul.
Wildlife gardening can help beat the modern trend for hard lifeless gardens. and it could even be beneficial to your health. As humans (and beavers) we evolved to be close to our natural world.
Living among the stark and often hard surfaces of the modern world just do not satisfy this need and can lead to mental health problems. Simply being surrounded by the colour green and hearing bird song can improve your mental health and relieve stress.
You can read about a stress relief study here.
Now that you know about some of the benefits of wildlife gardening, take a look at the four simple tips below that can get you started in turning your garden into a mini nature reserve.
PLANT POLLINATOR FRIENDLY FLOWERS
Selecting the appropriate plants for your wildlife garden serves as a great foundation for success. Opt for a diverse array of plants abundant in nectar and pollen, ensuring a continuous supply throughout the seasons. This guarantees a vibrant splash of colour all year while maintaining a perpetual food source for bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and moths.
Prioritise species that offer single, open blooms over heavily hybridized cultivars, which tend to be sterile and possess multiple petals. We prefer to choose varieties like dahlias, calendula, rudbeckia, cosmos, and numerous others for a thriving habitat.
FEED THE BIRDS
Introducing bird feeders into your outdoor space is a simple yet rewarding way to attract wildlife. You can easily acquire nut and seed feeders affordably from local pet stores, and fill them with nourishing treats and seeds
It’s advisable to position a water source in close proximity to your feeders, ensuring birds have access to hydration. Maintaining cleanliness for both feeders and birdbaths is crucial. In Ireland, there’s a current concern regarding diseases like Trichomoniasis, which can easily spread among bird populations.
GO PURPLE!
While flowers of various hues entice pollinators, it appears that purple holds a special allure for bees. Research conducted by several scientists suggests that bumblebees exhibit an innate preference for this colour, providing them with an advantageous start in life. Delve into the intriguing findings of this study here. https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2007/06/25/1961099.htm
To enhance pollinator activity in your garden, incorporate a touch of purple. Consider planting some of our favourites such as lavender, salvias, nepeta, and buddleja (butterfly bush) to witness your garden buzzing with vibrant life.
OPEN A BUG HOTEL
As wildlife gardeners, we aim to attract beneficial insects to aid in pest control efforts. Ladybirds, hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, centipedes, and spiders are all valuable allies in the fight against unwanted guests that threaten our flowers and vegetables.
One great way of attracting more of these helpful critters, is to place a bug hotel in your garden. You can buy ready made hotels or you can make your own. Gather items such as bark, straw, pine cones, bamboo, twigs, cardboard tubes, logs, and leaves to create a welcoming habitat for beneficial insects. Follow one of the many diy guides that you’ll find on the internet.
