Ivy in fruit
Ivy (Hedera helix) is one of the best plants for wildlife that you can put in your garden. Its late summer/early autumn flowers provide late nectar for many insects getting ready for hibernation; when the berries ripen (as here) late in the winter, they are an important food crop for many birds; and it provides cover and shelter for many animals all year round.
