Habitat
Habitat Before Decoration
27 January 2026
What turns a green garden into a living one?
The four requirements
A bird needs more than a feeder: nesting cover, insect prey, water and a safe route between them. Habitat design means providing all four in reach of each other, all year round.
Beauty is not the opposite
Deadwood can be sculptural. A brash hedge can be an elegant boundary. The most biodiverse features in our projects are usually the ones visitors photograph first.
Design principle
Create habitat; the beauty follows.
