With numbers of wild birds in the UK falling rapidly, installing a bird box in your garden can be the perfect way to help numbers increase. Many species of birds can be encouraged to nest in boxes, including blue tits, great tits and house sparrows and allowing wild birds a home in your garden can be a very fulfilling experience. Armitage’s stock a range of nesting boxes at very reasonable prices, as well as all the birdcare accessories you might need. With a range of bird food, including Bill Oddie’s Bird Food Recipes*, as well as feeders, bird tables and birdbaths from leading brands including Gardman and Tom Chambers, here at Armitage’s we have everything you’ll need to set up a nesting habitat in your garden.
By providing birds, animals and insects with food and shelter, you can also control unwanted pests and increase natural bio-diversity in your garden. Why not introduce a bug hotel into your garden? Many insects are actually beneficial to your garden and by providing them with a welcoming environment you can increase their numbers in your garden. Armitage’s stock a number of “bug hotels”, including Bee and Ladybird boxes, Lacewing chambers, Hedgehog homes and rustic Bat boxes, inviting some new visitors into your garden. These are a great way of teaching children about insects, and these novel ideas could be the perfect way to get your kids excited about gardening.
