Garden

Gardens can be important feeding areas for bats, especially the smaller bats like pipistrelles. Plants chosen to attract insects, and night-flying insects in particular, will increase the garden’s value to wildlife, although we cannot guarantee that bats will visit regularly. Before planning any changes, look beyond your garden at what bats already have access to nearby. Try to enhance what is available, for bats live and feed over a wide area. Encourage you're neighbours to do the same.

Honeysuckle

Night scented flowers such as honeysuckle and evening primrose, native trees and shrubs, a shelter belt formed by a wall or shrubs, a garden pond - all can be important parts of a garden planned for bats.
