Gardening for Bats

Many people enjoy spending long summer evenings sitting in their gardens, watching as daylight turns to dusk and bats begin to fill the night sky.

These small and fascinating creatures often live in close proximity to us, using our gardens as an important source of food, water and shelter. As their natural habitats become more scarce, our gardens are playing a more important role in securing a future for bats.

Bats are a sign of a green and healthy environment, so creating a garden that's good for bats will also be good for people.
Follow these simple steps and turn your garden into a bat haven...
Plant night-scented flowers
Build a pond
Let your garden go a little wild
Put up a bat box
Create linear features i.e hedgerows/treelines
