| book description |

After the best part of forty years spent either living under his parentsâ€™ roof, in the tropical rainforests of three continents, a vast array of student digs or most recently a one-bedroom flat, The One Showâ€™s Mike Dilger has at last bought a house â€“ and with it, a (potentially) glorious gardenâ€¦ â€˜Potentialâ€™ was definitely the word that sprang to mind the very first time Mike and his partner Christina viewed their new â€˜house-and-garden-to-beâ€™ in a small rural village some eight miles south of Bristol. And so begins their year-long journey to create their very own wildlife sanctuary. From otters to badgers, chickens to hedgehogs, an orchard, a pond and compost bins, to the best birdlife imaginable, what began as a straightforward mission soon became the adventure of a lifetime. Illustrated throughout with beautiful black-and-white line drawings by Christina Holvey, Mike Dilgerâ€™s partner-in-crime, this light-hearted nature tale with a twist will appeal to wildlife enthusiasts and keen gardeners alike.
