This beautifully illustrated book provides a wealth of information to enable every reader to create their own corner of paradise that wild birds will be eager to share, however large or small their garden. It introduces more than 70 species of birds that routinely visit gardens and provides the details of more than 230 species of plants, including both native and exotic species, which offer food, shelter, and a welcoming habitat for birds to guarantee that a garden will become the focus of their attention.

There are useful hints on appropriate design features for a garden that's created specifically with the needs of birds in mind. The book reveals that gardening for birds can become an integral part of a healthy and active lifestyle, reducing stress and keeping anxiety at bay.

Birds play an invaluable role in every garden environment by providing entertainment, controlling insect pests, pollinating flowers, and reducing the spread of weeds. A garden that's designed to encourage birds to take up residence provides a delightful environment in which gardeners will not only be able to interact with nature, but will also be rewarded for their efforts with the knowledge that they have created a safe haven for birds and other wildlife.

Creating a Bird Friendly Garden is an essential guide for anyone interested in transforming their garden into a sanctuary for avian visitors and enriching their own life in the process.
