A wildlife garden (or wild garden) is an environment that is attractive to various forms of wildlife such as birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects, mammals and so on. A wildlife garden will usually contain a variety of habitats that have either been deliberately created by the gardener, or allowed to self-establish by minimising maintenance and intervention. Many organic gardeners are sympathetic to the philosophy of wildlife gardening, and will usually try to incorporate some aspects of the wild garden into their own plots in order to both act as a means of biological pest control, as well as for its value in promoting biodiversity and generally benefitting the wider environment. ==Habitats== Wildlife gardens may contain a range of habitats: * ponds〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=10 tips on creating a nature pond )〕 to attract frogs, newts, toads, dragonflies, and birds * nest boxes for birds, bats, and solitary bees, hedgehogs or certain insects * log piles to provide shelter for insects, lizards, and slow worms * plants that attract beneficial insects〔("Enticing Beneficial Insects to Patrol your Garden" from ''National Wildlife'' Magazine 1/15/2010 )〕 including wildflower meadows, etc. * a diverse supply of food (all year round) to attract and keep wildlife in the garden 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「wildlife garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
