Plant Lists
-----------
Remember that the way you manage your garden is just as much, if not
more, important than the plants you grow. (See 'basics' page). When
choosing plants, bear in mind that 'wildlife - friendly plants' is a
rather loose term, it really depends what you are trying to attract
or provide food for: Moths, Birds, Bumblebees, Solitary Bees,
Hoverflies, Beetles, other invertebrates - all have different needs
and find different flowers or plants to their liking. I've written a
list of suggested flowers for (adult) moths because moths tend to be
neglected, even though they are in need of help from gardeners.
