Gail Collins grows her garden with wildlife in mind and she reaps the rewards with the number of creatures who drop by for a visit.

She said: "I don't use any chemicals, slug bait or weed killer in my garden and let nature do it all, and it does a good job,

"If I am in the garden centre and see bees on a plant I buy it. I have bird feeders and bee houses and a big pond and three small wild ponds.

"I get so much pleasure watching the birds bathing in the ponds and feeding. I get the odd squirrel and fox, I also have some wood mice visit and few frog and toads, but I'm still waiting for a newt, slow worm or hedgehog."
