The heart of winter is an excellent time to take stock and plan new features in the wildlife garden, even if you can’t take action straight away. This year there is an added incentive to perfect your wildlife-friendly garden because of the Big Wildlife Garden competition, run by The Wildlife Trusts and the Royal Horticultural Society, with funding from Defra.
