Super excited and proud to have my garden featured by the Bumblebee Conservation Trust including my photos. See below for a link to the blog post that I wrote for them about creating my wildlife garden which was inspired by all the wonderful work being done by this fantastic organisation. 😁😊🐝🦋🐞🦔🐸🦇🐦⬛
“The garden was little more than a field with a couple of small borders and no bee-friendly plants. Having seen the difference that habitat creation could make to nature, I set about designing a garden to attract as much wildlife as possible … Not finding any landscaping companies that could carry out my vision, I began to create the garden myself.”
Bumblebee Conservation Trust member Emma England transformed the blank canvas of her new garden into a haven for wildlife.
Over the course of a couple of years, Emma introduced garden features essential for wildlife, including a pond, raised beds for homegrown vegetables, and cosy spaces for birds, bugs and hedgehogs.
Emma also planted over 3,000 perennials, shrubs and trees. In the process she learned more about bumblebee behaviour and discovered a variety of plants best loved by bumblebees.
Emma shares her gardening journey and her top bumblebee-friendly plants in our latest blog: https://ow.ly/letr50XAyHQ
