Squire's survey finds customers love wildlfe
A Squire’s Garden Centres recent survey of almost 2,000 people found that a massive 98% of people enjoy watching wildlife in their garden. Some 78% would leave (or have already left) and area of their garden “wild” to attract wildlife, and 32% spend over £50 each year feeding or caring for wildlife in their garden. Over a third of respondents said that they chose plants for their garden that were wildlife friendly, and the types of wildlife that people were most concerned about were bees (37%), followed by birds (27%), then butterflies (15%) and hedgehogs (14%). Other animals that people said they were concerned about included frogs, foxes, badgers, squirrels, ladybirds and stag beetles.
