Gardens probably have the more plant species per square metre than any other habitat on earth - more even than the rainforests. Increasingly, gardens are seen as important part of conservation, and as a result gardeners are being bombarded with advice about how to tend their plots in a "wildlife-friendly" manner. But how much of this advice is backed up by sound science?
