Summer is well and truly here and with it come all of the different visitors to your garden. Although you may try to keep animals out of your garde n, there’s not a lot you can do if they choose to visit every now and again. The best thing to do, of course, is to make sure you’re doing all that you can to protect them. Whether it’s leaving out water or planting lots of plants, you need to be sure you’re doing your part for the environment. With that in mind, here are a number of tips and tricks you can follow to help keep any visitors to your garden safe this summer:
- Put Out Plenty Of Nuts And Water
One of the best things you can do is ensure you’re putting out plenty of water. The weather can become unbearable for small animals and they may struggle to find water when it’s incredibly hot outside. Although it only needs to be a small bowl that you regularly refill, all of the little visitors to your garden will be extremely grateful when they find out you’re helping them keep hydrated. If you do find animals drinking the water you have left, do not go up to them and startle them. For tips and tricks when it comes to keeping animals hydrated, you can visit this site here.
- Keep Them Away From Any Toxic Plants You May Be Growing
If you’re growing plants that you know might be toxic to animals, try to keep them away from them at all times. If you’re unsure whether or not something is going to be harmful, it is probably best to do your research before you start taking any preventative measures.
When it comes to preventing animals from getting to harmful plants and substances, buying a greenhouse might be your best options. If you’re looking to buy a greenhouse for your garden, you can visit this site here.
- Hang Bird Feeders And Keep An Eye On Their Wellbeing
When it comes to birds you need to ensure you’re hanging bird feeders in a place where they can easily get to them. Although you may want to keep them away from you, hanging them too high up may cause baby birds to struggle. If you’re worried that you’re getting an overwhelming amount of birds nesting in and around your house, you might want to consider bird netting services.
- Plant Lots Of Plants For Butterflies And Bees
Summer is prime time for bugs, especially when it comes to bees and butterflies. Although you may not want to encourage bugs to visit the areas of the garden that you use, planting a butterfly and bee garden at the bottom of your yard is a great idea. Not only will it give bees a place to pollinate, but it will also allow any butterflies to safely nest.
