Not Your Standard Bird Feeders
A tasteful and sturdy birdfeeder for smaller birds. My wish list just keeps getting bigger and bigger! There are lots to choose from and they can even join together to form a feeding station. At last no more plastic for the squirrels to chew on!

Such a unique and pretty fat ball feeder. Could be placed anywhere safe in a border.

Bumblebee Conservation
As a big Wildlife gardener there are quite a few Perennial plants that are a must in your garden if you want to do your bit for Bumblebee Conservation. Here I recommend the following which I have planted in many garden schemes for that exact purpose.
Primula Vulgaris- British Native Primrose is a great early source of Nectar and Pollen for Bumblebees as the Queen comes out from Hibernation ready to find a nesting area. Flowers Mar-May. A great investment as these will come back year after year an...
Primula vulgaris - primrose
(Primula Veris) Cowslip. This Early spring flowering Native Wildflower is dwindling in it's natural pastures. This is a great one to add to your garden for not only conservation of Bumblebees but also conservation of The Cowslip. Again another one that will naturalise and mu...
Primula veris - cowslip
Snowdrop (Galanthus) One of the earliest Bumblebee suitable bulbs. For Early Bumblebees a great and much needed source of nectar and pollen.
Galanthus nivalis - common snowdrop bulbs
Mahonia- I have planted a few of these. One being in one of my local parks. There are a few types to choose from that flower at different times of the year. This one is the Winter flowering variety and is evergreen so there is interest all year round...

Frog/Toad Haven. Giving frogs some sort of shelter out of the water next to your pond is a really great way to help them stay safe from predators. This design could also attract snails to shelter. A natural food source for them.
