It is a while since I last updated you on my garden. I have been very busy with all sorts of landscaping and planting since the spring and The Bee Friendly Garden is now beginning to show it’s potential.
Last year I bought some Lavender Hidcote plugplants – they cost £15 for around 150 plants! I potted them up and grew them on and planted them out last autumn. Here are a few pictures:
My daughter and I came up with a design! More details about this plan will come later!
Here we are today! The lavender has really grown in just a few months and looks stunning – it is also attracting a large number of bees, hoverflies, butterflies and other insects. Last year the garden felt lifeless – there were so few flowers and very few insects. Today it is an absolute pleasure to go out and hear the ‘buzz’ of insects and the garden feels alive.
These are a few photos my daughter took today:
