Leaving a little area uncut will allow the individual grasses to flower. These flowers produce valuable pollen which is collected by bees and moths. Choose native wildflower mixes from companies like Connected To Nature where possible and prepare the ground by removing any grass as this grows more vigorously than wildflowers and will overwhelm them.

Other suitable species include blackthorn, wild roses and hazel.During lockdown, many people became far more aware of the sound of birdsong and, confined to their homes, discovered the pleasures of spotting and listening to birds in the garden.
