Bee and Butterfly Gardens

With the huge decline in pollinators its more important than ever to give them a helping hand. With each bee colony needing up to 25 kg of pollen and around 120 kg of nectar, every little helps.

Create a bee and butterfly friendly garden, learn about the correct plants to encourage these beautiful creatures, either using flower borders, containers or even a wildflower patch. We can all do our own little bit to help and I can show you how.

• Choosing the correct plants

• Plant Lists to Suit Your Garden

• Wildflower areas

• Container Planting

• Create a colourful insect friendly border

• Bee hotels/nests

• Nature Piles
