Our latest Book on the Bird Table is the third edition of the RSPB Handbook of Garden Wildlife by Peter Holden and Geoffrey Abbott, published by Bloomsbury.
The guide is a comprehensive source of information on the plants and animals that live alongside us and this updated edition features new material on climate change, recycling and wild spaces in gardens.
The handbook is bursting with useful sections on how to create a wildlife garden, how best to use hedges and borders, introducing wildflower meadows, water features and wilding areas, seasonal planting, how to get children involved in gardening and much more. A fantastic feature is the monthly guide, which includes wildlife highlights for each month along with relevant tasks for the time of year.
Comprehensive sections on mammals, birds, insects, invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, flowers, trees, shrubs and fungi are all included with colour photographs illustrating almost 400 garden species and an ‘In the garden’ section for each entry that informs the reader how each species can relate to their own gardens.
A ‘DIY in the Garden’ section rounds the book off, helping you with planning bird and hedgehog boxes, ponds and insect homes.
There’s never been a better time to create your own wildlife garden haven, wherever you may live and, after reading the RSPB Handbook of Garden Wildlife, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to begin!
