Looking for a weekend project?
Saw this posted the other day by the RSPB and thought how wonderful and simple it looks to do. I’m going to have a go myself.
In this hot weather birds, mammals and insects will all be looking for sources of water, why not give them a little helping hand.
Have you had success making a home for nature like this? Any tips or hints on best location for one please share below.
Next week is National Insect Week (23-29 June) it is organised by the Royal Entomological Society and encourages people of all ages to learn more about insects.
Did you know that there are over one million species of insects in the world these are just the ones that have been discovered and named with possibly many more new species out there just waiting to be found? In the UK alone there are more than 24,000 species, they are very varied in appearance (shape, size and colour) and live quite differently in their own habitats, many go unnoticed in our day-to-day life, why not go and explore your patch to see what is living in your school garden or your garden at home.
Be prepared
Hopefully the sun will be shining but you may need waterproofs, old clothes and Wellingtons.

Fathers’ Day at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Museum yesterday. Self seeded sunflowers in ‘Curiosity Corner’- a mini garden for under 5’s I designed and built (with help).

A couple of interesting garden observations this week. Having just seen the first signs of slug and snail attack on my newly planted summer bedding (Portulaca) I resorted to the ‘blue sweeties’ to attract and ‘deal’ with the little ….pests. (Yes, I know I shouldn’t, but I find that they are the most effective way of dealign with mass infestations).
