Transform your garden into a haven for wildlife with this practical guide from biologist Ditte Dahl Lisbjerg. Drawing on fifteen years of experience and international conservation work, Lisbjerg shows how simple changes—letting grass grow tall, leaving deadwood in place, planting native species—can create vital habitat for bees, butterflies, birds, and countless other creatures.
The Wildlife Gardener covers everything from designing for pollinators and building insect hotels to creating garden ponds and navigating sceptical neighbours. The science is made accessible, explaining why certain practices work and how gardens fit into the broader ecological picture.
Whether you're working with a large garden or a small balcony, this book provides actionable steps to support biodiversity at home. Now in its third edition, it has helped thousands of European gardeners embrace a new relationship with nature—one based on cooperation rather than control.
