Biodiversity Gardener: Establishing a Legacy for the Natural World

This book follows the story of author and photographer Paul Sterry and how he nurtured a small island of biodiversity in his half-acre garden. By giving nature a free hand and fostering habitats appropriate to southeast England, he enabled an abundance of native plant and animal species to thrive. This contrasts with the ongoing decline in biodiversity in the surrounding countryside.

Sterry shares his experiences and offers practical advice on biodiversity gardening, showing how anyone, regardless of the size of their land, can create a wildlife haven. Hampshire retains traces of its rich wildlife heritage, but land use changes have devastated local biodiversity.

Adopting a habitat-driven approach, biodiversity gardens can leave a lasting legacy as wildlife oases for future generations. The book encourages readers to create their own biological inheritance and shows them how to do it.
