Behind the flowers, lawns and vegetable patches of an ordinary garden lies a surprisingly wild world. As summer reaches its peak, kestrel chicks prepare for their first flights, butterflies emerge from their chrysalises and hedgehogs search for mates. Paper wasps and ladybirds become unlikely allies to gardeners by hunting caterpillars and aphids, while bees and other insects keep flowers and crops producing.

As harvest time approaches, the garden reveals even more hidden residents. Hornets hunt around the compost heap, tiny grass snakes hatch among rotting vegetation, moles store earthworms underground and foxes and dormice emerge after dark. When autumn arrives, squirrels hide food for winter while watchful jays memorize the locations of their stores.

From midsummer abundance through autumn harvest and the hardships of winter to the first awakening of spring, discover how our gardens have become vital miniature habitats for an extraordinary diversity of wildlife.
