Currently Playing: Plants That Work For Wildlife

Not all plants are equal when it comes to wildlife. In this video, I’m introducing some of the species I’ve carefully chosen for our nursery - not because they’re fashionable, and not because they flower loudly for a few weeks - but because they genuinely support life. Our collection is intentionally curated. Every plant has been chosen because I use it in real wildlife garden designs. Every one plays a role: host plant, nectar source, shelter, structure, seasonal continuity. This isn’t a stack-it-high approach with a generic “pollinator” label. It’s a habitat-first collection. From caterpillars to hoverflies, from overwintering beetles to birds - these are plants that work. Wildlife gardening isn’t about colour schemes of course, it’s about life cycles.
