While Wildlife Gardening and Rewilding are increasing in popularity in the UK it's become important to remind people of the scientific study that exists for gardens. They're a repeatedly undervalued resource and most of the information suggests recreating fake bits of countryside. Given that gardens contain more species than these bits of countryside people try to recreate it seems a little bit of a flawed strategy. It's possible to garden in whichever way you enjoy save for a few small changes.
