Don't forget you may need planning permission if you intend to convert, say,
agricultural pasture land into a garden, even if it's a wildlife garden.

If you had plenty of time, you could just leave the grassland to its own
devices - excluding any grazing domestic stock - and it probably wouldn't
stay grassland for long.

You'd just need to mow your central area to maintain it as a clearing, and a
path to it. Mind you, the land probably wouldn't look very pretty, and you'd
be trusting to luck as to what species were to come out on top, eventually.

That might encourage skylarks, too.
