Layout of Garden

There are four basic habitat types which should ideally be included in the garden to maximise the wildlife species that will occur in the garden: the Open Area, the Exclusion Area, the Canopy corridor and the Wetland.

The Open Area is the space of the garden where the area is relatively exposed as regard to other areas of the garden. In most cases this area comprises the lawn, although it may consist of low-growing groundcovers and annuals.

The Exclusion Area is more dense than the Open Area. Trees often are an important component of this area.

Famous quotes containing the word garden:

    Little Trotty Wagtail, he waddled in the mud,
    And left his little footmarks, trample where he would.
    He waddled in the water-pudge, and waggle went his tail,
    And chirrupt up his wings to dry upon the garden rail.
    John Clare (1793–1864)
