Did you know that to attract native birds and insects into your garden, it is important to create different layers of "structure"? The variety of structures in an area affects the local biodiversity.
To create optimum urban habitats you need different layers - ideally five:
- tall trees
- tall and small shrubs
- ground cover and grasses
- leaf litter and ground structures (e.g. rocks and logs)
- bare ground
I am on a mission to attract smaller birds/wrens to my garden. What would you like to see thrive in your local area?
