Why Ivy for Wildlife?
Ivy is one of the most valuable plants for British wildlife:
September-November: Flowers provide nectar for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies when little else blooms
December-February: Berries ripen, feeding hungry birds in late winter
Year-round: Dense evergreen cover for nesting birds, roosting bats, and hibernating insects
