Description
This is a course about food. Not for us, but for our gardens' wildlife visitors, and the nutrients our garden plants need. It also looks at the fascinating impact that food has had on the evolution of animals, particularly looking at garden wildlife. It will certainly make you look at your garden wildlife in a different way.I will highlight the food that we can grow in our gardens, that animals will be searching for. I'll identify not only popular fruits and nuts that we often grow for our own consumption, but also the berries, seeds and foliage that we don't eat, but are vitally important for plenty of wildlife. I take a close look at nectar and pollen, explaining exactly, what they are and why they are so important to bees and wide range of other creatures. I'll also explain the various foods we can put out for birds, and other animals. Covering the best practice for feeding bird feeding stations; which ones to choose, where to site them and importantly, what to put in them. It's not just animals that need feeding in your garden. Your plants are also hungry for nutrients. I'll explain what they are looking for, and how you can supply it. I'll look at the role fertilisers can play in gardens and help you identify whether your plants will benefit from them.Just as important as feeding your plants, your garden soil is also a living entity that benefits from a nutritional boost too. I'll explain why that is, and the role compost plays in making soil a healthy medium to grow plants in. In addition to the various ways we can feed our plants and wildlife, I'll also take a look at the different ways animals have evolved as a result of their diet. I'll look at different garden animals, with incredibly keen senses, that make our skillset look very primitive. If there's an advantage to be had, animals have exploited it. After this section, I'm sure you'll be looking at your garden wildlife in a far more inquisitive way. If that wasn't enough, throughout this course, just like all my other courses, I'll be taking a deep dive on the following animals, explaining their lifecycle, diet and threats, as well as the different ways you can support them in your garden:- Song Thrush- Wood mouse- Holly Blue butterfly- Small and Large White butterfly- Hummingbird Hawk-moth- Red Soldier beetle- Mole- Grass snakeIf you enjoy watching wildlife in your garden, I'm sure this course will really help you get even more from this wonderful interest.
