Information about Wildlife Gardening
Here you will find lists of pollinator friendly plants and other bits and pieces of information that we at Paradise Community Gardens have discovered as we have established and grown the Gardens for the benefit of our local wildlife.
​
HINTS AND TIPS
* Always provide a source of water with standing areas so pollinators can reach it without drowning. Shallow water filled dishes sprinkled with gravel work very well.
* Provide ground cover, mini logs and leaf piles for bugs, which in turn will attract other wildlife.
* Wildlife gardening cannot include chemicals or pesticides -so no slug pellets, weedkillers and so on should be used. Research and use natural alternatives.
* If growing meadow plants & grasses, mow in late summer just after flowering.
* It can take time to establish a wildlife garden, we did it one flowerbed at a time. You can even start out with just a window box or garden tub and grow in confidence & experience that way.
Habitats for Butterfly & Moth Babies
​
It is very important, if at all possible, to provide appropriate habitats for the larval/caterpillar stages of butterfly, moth and bee - because decline in habitat is one reason that our pollinator numbers are dwindling. We have done this at Paradise Community Gardens with the creation of our Wildlife Habitat area.
