Learn from Britain's leading dragonfly expert how to invite dragonflies and damselflies into your garden and help them thrive there.

In this compact and accessible wildlife primer, Dragonfly-Friendly Gardening, 'Dragonfly Ambassador' Ruary Mackenzie Dodds shows how to set up a tranquil garden haven for dragonflies, with straightforward, easy-to-follow guidance on preparing your pond, what plants to include in it, and how to manage and enjoy it.

Caring for something as precious and delicate as a dragonfly can provide a welcome respite from the everyday demands of life. We can, as always, learn so much from the natural world, even โ€” and sometimes especially โ€” from its smallest creatures.

Learn how to transform your garden into a haven for dragonflies and damselflies, nurturing your own mental health and protecting the planet as you do so. With stunning colours and phenomenal flying abilities, dragonflies are beautiful creatures that are also vital to our ecosystem. Every pond counts!
