    A tidy garden isn't necessarily attractive for a hedgehog to create a home although they may still visit from other gardens. 4-5" gap in fences, try to get your neighbours to do similarly.

    Yes, your garden is far too neat and tidy and bare just yet but it will fill out as plants grow and you plant more to cover bare soil.  

    Patience is a virtue in gardening.  It's not slapping on wallpaper and paint for instant results.  Wildlife will come when it has what it needs.  You can speed up the birds' arrival with feeders and insects with nectar and pollen rich plants.

  • I agree with all that obelixx has suggested, wildlife don't spend so much time in neat tidy gardens, so include as many pollen rich plants as you can Jess, leave some decaying logs or leaves in a pile where you won't disturb them and keep on with the bird feeders.
