Insects are a vital part of every garden ecosystem. They’re needed to pollinate flowers, keep down unwanted pests, and provide a good source of natural food for birds, amphibians and mammals.
Without insects, we have nothing else. So providing a home for them is really important. Your insect house should be placed somewhere sheltered and as dry as possible. It could be on a fence or wall or on the ground. It will be a welcome addition to a tidy garden.
