My garden has 3 core functions. Recreation and play, Growing vegetables and fruits, and givin nature more room. The so called Controlled Wildernes. I Love to see all the different species the are coming by. But i always want to make it better, especially the combination of space for family and nature. Ive got inspired by the book The Garden Jungle from Dave Goulson. It just gave me more ideas and motivation to protect the smal animals, and make the garden usefull for more. But what about you? What books, articles, documentary etc, did inspire or would give me some ideas to let nature have more space in af garden?

And for anyone curious, it's an old enough (1869) book that it's in the public domain, and you can download it free from project gutenberg. As always with older literature, there's going to be some stuff that's not scientifically best practice, so don't take it as gospel, but use it as a starting point.

In the same vein "Living on a Few Acres" is a US dept of Agriculture publication that you can also get free online. Mine is from 1978 and also has a lot of good stuff.
