Close Your Eyes: Take a moment to picture your garden or any green space you know well. Imagine the sights, sounds, and smells that surround you.
Set the Scene: Now, envision yourself stepping into this space as if you were a biologist on a special mission. What do you see? What creatures might be lurking there?
Make a List: Open your eyes and jot down a list of all the different forms of wildlife you think you might find. Consider insects, birds, mammals, and even plants that attract various creatures.
Draw or Map It Out: Using the back of your paper, sketch a simple map of your imagined garden safari. Mark where you’ve spotted different animals or plants.
Share Your Ideas: Turn to a partner and share your lists and maps. Discuss why you think certain animals might visit your garden, and what they might need to thrive there.
As we return from our imaginative safari, let’s dive deeper into understanding the incredible diversity of wildlife that can be found in our gardens. From the smallest insect to the larger mammals, every organism plays a vital role in the web of life. Ready to explore?
