| A Handbook of Native Trees and Shrubs - How to Plants and Maintain a Natural Woodland |
Her forty acres of woodland were recently named as a site of nature-conservation interest, having been found to contain 250 different species of plants.
When not gardening, she loves to travel the world studying exotic flora and fauna.
The planting and replanting of woodlands can successfully recreate some of our lost natural habitats and ecosystems. With some management, trees and shrubs are more likely to survive and grow quicker, along with the many species of native flora and fauna that rely on woodlands and verges.
Even a few square metres can support some trees and shrubs and with them a variety of wildflowers, grasses, lichen, fungi, birds, butterflies, insects and reptiles.
Illustrating and describing all the native trees and shrubs that once covered most of Britain, this handbook provides guidance on planning both large and small woodlands.
Advice is given on how to plant, maintain and manage a woodland with minimal intervention and yet cope with weeds, pests, diseases and the effects of drought.
This is an illuminating guide to an often overlooked area of nature conservation.
