As our gardens die back and lose their colour over winter, spare a thought for the local birds and wildlife too, as the lack of foliage can mean they lose a vital source of food and shelter. For an easy way to help out, why not think about growing berry-bearing shrubs and trees that will feed birds and wildlife in your garden over winter?
When it comes to wildlife garden ideas and planting, certain berries are favoured by native bird species, particularly red berries, and by choosing plants that ripen at different times, it’s possible to create a 'rolling buffet' for birds that will last for months and keep them fed through the winter.
