Still some time to kill before GW springs back into action so I thought I'd pop this one up.

Much like 'Wild About Your Garden', the focus here is all about attracting wildlife to your garden. The host, Mike Dilger, is a naturalist not a gardener. If grand design, elaborate plant scheme or wow-factor makeover is what you're after, you might want to pass.

Hope you enjoy. :)
