Backyard Restoration is all about what you can do in your own garden, just like Harry Handprint - his garden is the earth, and he cares for it.

If you can aim to turn 30% of your garden into a wildlife sanctuary, this is called backyard restoration.

You should try to:

• plant native wildflowers
• plant native trees
• collect, save and sow native tree seeds (nuts, acorns, ash keys)
• collect, save and sow native wild flower seed stock in your area
• plant Viper’s Bugloss to attract Bumblebees
• plant Buddleias for attracting butterflies
