THE WILDLIFE DATABASEflower

Compiled by P M Lloyd

 

The information in this small online database, can be used freely for non-profit making, educational purposes, provided it is not altered in anyway and a copyright notice and a link to this web site are included.

The plants contained in this database are of particular interest to wildlife and I hope that anyone who is in the process of creating a wildlife area in their garden will find this information useful. However, anyone who visits the site from outside the UK should be aware that these plants are recommended only for use as wildlife plants in the UK.  Seeds of most of  the plants listed below can be obtained by mail order from the John Chambers Wild Flower Seed Catalogue.  Telephone: 01933 652562 to make your order or to obtain a copy of their latest catalogue. 

You may also wish to obtain a copy of my twelve-page information booklet 'Gardening For Wildlife', which is available from the The Vegan Organic Trust.
