I'm aware I'm not working with much, the garden has been an absolute tip for years and I've spent the last 3 months working hard to get it to this stage. Ideally I don't want concrete, and know a lot of work needs to be done long term, but I wanted to be able to create a space that was functional with the funds and resources we had. I built all the wooden planters myself.
I'm mainly just looking for advice on how to make my garden more wildlife friendly as essentially a patio currently. I dream of having ample space to accommodate various habits and even a pond, but that isn't an option right now. I'm interested in being able to help the local ecology as much as possible with the limited space and resources I have.
I am already planting almost entirely pollinator friendly plants, and wildflowers in the front bed. I've also kept some old buddlea logs out that are rotting down well which the woodlice are loving. I'm aware bird feeding is a hot conversation right now so I'm avoiding putting feeders out, but could I put perches or nesting boxes up or is the environment simply too urban and harsh for them to feel comfortable?
I'm open to any suggestions and really keen to do what I can, TIA!
