#insects in #mygarden making it #beautiful . Annoyed that an important story about #insectdecline is given such poor coverage. @buglife @beeconservation @savebutterflies

Ah-ha oh-ho tracks in the snow. Whose are these tracks and where do they go? Could these be the tracks of the big bad mouse? #gruffalo #winterwonderland #whatchildhoodmemeoriesademadeof btw the tracks are #fox

Summer 2018 has seen a rise in #butterfly numbers in #mygarden they seem to prefer #native #meadow species to feed on but the caterpillars need the #spring #leaves of plants such as #salix #nettle #viburnum to feed on....tolerating #pests within the #garden is becoming increasingly necessary to promote #biodiversity #conservation #insect #buglife #mygarden #wildgarden #naturalistic #marbledwhite @savebutterflies @avonwt @somersetwt @festofnature

Wishing you all peace at #wintersolstice a time for #reflection and to recognise the #journeyoflife :that #death makes #life possible. This print is by @stanleydonwood one of a series produced every winter solstice. I absolutely love it @lunt_t 🙏. My father died at 8 o’clock in the morning on winters solstice seventeen years ago. My brother phoned me and I drove up to the farm through a freezing heavy fog. As I inched my way along the track a buzzard burst out of the hedge and grazed across the bonnet of the car. The world went into slow motion and the buzzards head turned; fixing me with an hypnotic brilliant yellow stare. This was my father leaving. When I hear the buzzard’s screech or catch it’s idiosyncratic circling form in the sky I feel his presence and his love. My father was the best gardener I have ever met; his feel for architecture and landscape was painterly and innate; and his favourite word was ‘magic’ ✨the world could use a bit of that now.

Guess what my family are getting for #Christmas #bulbs #plants #afewofmyfavouritethings #paperwhite #hyacinth #forcedbulbs #pratensisgardens

Beginning to play with #brand #image #offering. I would like to have a true meadow plant as image but not sure that they would be as strong as this. Advice please my IG friends... I want to specialise in #meadows #ecologicalplantings #wildgardens #wetlands

I #mulched the #coppice that I planted #5 years ago with semi composted year old #barkchips. This area was where the #canal ran through and was a #grey #stagnant #unaerobic #clay covered in bramble and buddlejah when I arrived. It #stank and the soil was completely unworkable. I heard that #hazel are the best #native at restoring #fungi and #mycorrhizal life. Each year I have added a top mulch of the #bark and #leaf-mould. Now the earth smells #sweet the #creeping buttercup pulls out of the ground with ease the #worms are #thriving and I am starting to plant the #woodlandfloor #underlayer of #ferns #Melica and #bulbs 💚🌿🤞🤞#naturaldesign #naturerestores #inspiredbynature #pratensisgardens
