| Eggesford Gardens
is a corporate supporter of Devon Wildlife Trust. We are
working closely with the Trust through their Garden Centre
accreditation scheme and have recently achieved Silver level
in the scheme - we are the first garden centre in Devon to
achieve this level.
Gardening with
wildlife in mind is really pretty easy. Like us, wild
creatures need 3 things: food, water and shelter. By adding
these features into our gardens many more helpful species
will become welcome visitors.
- The more different food sources you offer, the more
species you will attract.
- Water is essential for all wildlife - ponds,
barrels, bird baths all have their place.
- Wildlife needs shelter for many reasons: protection
from the elements, from predators, to hibernate, to
raise young. Creating different habitats means that your
garden visitors can become residents all year round.
