So we have a lawn which we're keeping to give the kids somewhere to play but at the same time I like to keep things as wildlife friendly as possible. So I thought I'd share our lawn and how it's managed to try and cut a balance between kids play area and wildlife help. Any suggestions would be welcomed for wildlife friendly ideas thanks.
Here's the lawn, pretty big and pretty flat on the whole, good for a run about etc. It gets mowed regularly to keep little ones from having to wade through the grass but on closer inspection there is still room for flowers which must help wildlife
There are areas around the garden tucked away log piles, and weedy areas, including a good stretch of native mixed hedge which we're trying to get looking better at the moment which should increase our biodiversity further soon.

I can't cope with the borders I have now so I wouldn't cut it up and make myself more work even though I would like to move away from this basic design with borders on 3 sides.
