Welcoming wildlife into a small, urban, outdoor space can seem tricky at first. For those with just a balcony or courtyard to work with, you can't just dig into soil to make a pollinator-friendly flowerbed or a wildlife pond, and there's no lawn to 'rewild'. You may, however, be able to make a mini meadow - all you need is a large container and some carefully chosen plants.
Like when planting a wildflower meadow in a larger plot, mini meadows can benefit all sorts of small creatures, from local feathered friends to butterflies and bees. Not to mention, they'll grace your space with extra color and movement, making it a more enjoyable place for you to spend time in, too.
