How to create a “GARDENING FOR WILD” by Charles Gilchrest
Charles Gilchrist is a garden adviser and conservationist. He leads themed nature walks for the West Berkshire Conservation Society and is a contributor to their magazine ‘Upstream’ and speaks about conservation at their AGM’s. To combine his interests of both gardening and natural history, Charles has given this talk to several local Horticultural Societies to let gardeners know what they can easily do to make their gardens more attractive for wildlife, without resorting to major projects such as starting a complete wildlife garden.
