Britain's 15 million gardens amount to about 2 million acres of land, that's equivalent to half the land area of all the National Parks in Britain.
			Gardens are now essential refuges for many creatures like frogs, house sparrows and starlings.

			Gardens can be wildlife oasis in built up areas, they also make wildlife corridors allowing wildlife to move around, for instance did you know that hedgehogs can climb fences?
