Tomtit Treats from your Garden

Use the right plants to create habitats for insects, birds and more

Did you know that tomtits like lemon balm, because they can then drive parasites from their nest? Or that the mint beetle eats so much mint that it actually smells of mint itself? Elke Schwarzer takes you on a veritable voyage of discovery through your garden and shows you what plants you can use to attract your favourite animals. With spindle tree, silver ragwort and loosestrife, robins, orange-tip butterflies and Macropis wild bees will be sure to feel at home. Transform your garden into a place to experience nature, and at the same contribute to maintaining native diversity. Your new companions will thank you!
