A school wildlife garden is the perfect place to observe and study a huge variety of creatures, especially minibeasts in their own habitat. A wildlife garden can include specific areas to attract different insects such as bees, butterflies, moths and dragonflies. The garden will then provide for a range of educational activities as well as being a pleasure to look at.  |

Plan your wildlife garden to encourage biodiversity
Choose a sheltered position away from roads and other pollutants
If you are planning a pond, check for underground services and fence it for safety
Think carefully about the long-term commitment required (time, money and space)
Give some thought to these things at the beginning of your project.
Who will use the garden and how do you want it to be used?
How will the project be financed?
Who will create the garden?
Remember to involve the children and their parents to create a sense of ownership
Who will be in charge of the project long-term?
Ask local conservation or community groups to help – they will often give specialist advice as well as hands on assistance
