Did u know?Our veg beds have 2 larger-than-life neighbours.A couple of 🦡 live in a sett,yards away from our veg beds.We love them,but we've had to think creatively,to ensure their worm foraging forays don't impact our veg.Voile play-pens encourage them to lk elsewhere in our garden for food.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🦡

Did u know?As the climate heats up,more insects will be on the wing on more days throughout the year,so it's important to have food available for insects,like pollinators,on as many days as possible.Autumnal floral suggestions for 🇬🇧:Campanulas, Erigeron,Red Valerian,Plumbago, Asters & Salvias. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍

Did u know? Insects suffer from negative P.R, with headlines like "swarm", or "invasions". When large emergences of insects like White Cabbage Flies happen,don't think of them as an "invasion" - such huge abundances of life are a boon to garden ecosystems by feeding small souls like 🕷️,🐦‍⬛,🪲,🦇,🐸. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍
