Bart Van Camp illustrates the wildlife found in his Belgian garden – no larger than a tennis court.
Bart's simple tips to creating your own wildlife haven include: don't use chemicals and leave some areas to grow a bit wild! See our website for advice: butrfli.es/Gardening

Very interesting to hear about local attitudes to #pollinators with @vronwig from @SussexLifeSci @LasiBee lab. With all the negative science stories in circulation it’s refreshing to hear 97% of interviewees have positive attitude to garden pollinators.
