1. I’m afraid I disagree with the idea that every garden should be left completely wild.
2. Let’s see. I think there are quite a few things to consider.
3. How do you feel about replacing some traditional garden plants with plants that attract wildlife?
4. There are a number of benefits: wildlife-friendly gardens can provide food and shelter for insects, birds and other animals.
5. I’m not happy about the way some people remove every wild plant from their gardens, because it leaves very little food or shelter for wildlife.
6. Having said that, a garden doesn’t have to look untidy simply because it is designed to support wildlife.
7. If more people planted flowers and shrubs that provide food for wildlife, gardens could help create a network of habitats across the neighbourhood.
8. We could also leave some areas unmown while keeping paths and seating areas neat.
9. Could you explain what you mean by a ‘wildlife-friendly’ garden?
10. I couldn’t agree more. Gardens can provide valuable habitats, particularly where natural habitats are limited.
11. As I see it, even a small garden can make a useful contribution to local biodiversity.
12. Perhaps we could encourage neighbours to plant more flowers that provide nectar for bees and butterflies.
13. I’m sorry. I didn’t realise that the patch of long grass I cut down was being left deliberately as a habitat for insects.
