    From the article: "Although a perfectly manicured lawn was traditionally perceived as the ideal British garden, ..."
    Those perfectly manicured lawns that are just part of huge estates have lots of room for wild areas for wildlife as well. Lawns have got a bad rap lately, but this article points out that it need not be all or nothing. The point made here is to leave one or more areas for wildlife, and once set, keep them wild, so the wildlife that learn where they are can rely on finding them again.
