` Wild About Gardens – how much do you know about the wildlife in your garden? Like most of us, I suspect that your knowledge only goes so far and then you have to get the books out to find out what is going on. The RHS has joined forces with the Wildlife Trusts to create a brand new website aimed at helping us all to improve our understanding of wildlife and in turn to help support them in all their diversity in our gardens. Visit www.wildaboutgardens.org and sign up to the regular on-line newsletter to help keep you in touch.
