The Gardens (at Home) are 'Works in Progress'

For reasons beyond our Control, the Gardens (at Home) were neglected for a number of Years. We have however, since Mid-2017, felt able to take the Bull by the Horns and are Working to make them Wildlife Friendly by introducing a number of new Plants, including Cultivated and Wild Flowers.

Progress is Slow but Sure with Bees, Beetles, Bugs, Butterflies, Damselflies (we are particularly pleased with these), Hoverflies, a Ladybird (sadly, just a single Individual so far), Moths &c. being seen during the past few days viz.

 

Footnote: the Foxgloves are Self-Seeded: (other Self-Seeded Plants in the Gardens include Common Dog-Violet, Common Ragwort, Creeping Thistle, Feverfew, Green Alkanet, Selfheal and Spear Thistle).

Bladder Campion, Hop Trefoil and Orange Hawkweed viz.

were grown from Seeds, collected from Plants, growing in the Wild.
