Nettles are very important for butterflies without them some species may decline. If you have nettles in your garden leave a small patch for butterflies to lay their eggs. These caterpillars will turn into the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly πŸ›

Housekeeping task!! πŸŒ±β˜˜οΈπŸƒβ˜˜οΈ
(not weeding 😜)
We had LOTS to do today as our boat planter, wildflower garden and flower bed all needed tidying up. We had fresh sand to lay on the Bee Bank, bins to empty and to remove some excess grasses that were threatening to choke some newly planted flowers ..so we set to it !!

Nigel joined us bashing Balsam on the way here.. and on the way home πŸ˜€
Paul was very helpful by taking the bin bags to the allocated spot where they can be collected officially. He's also started to make a Bug Hotel, that might attract other creatures not just mini beasts so fingers crossed 🀞

Thanks to Nigel for all your hard work today, joining in with any help needed or just seeing what needs doing and doing it- your advice for my sign was welcome too 😁

We have a couple of new signs regarding the long grass🌱 and insects 🐞so keep a look out ☺️
There are some mown areas so please use them to avoid stepping on any teeny wildlife in the grass thankyou.... πŸ¦‹
Mowing done by Richard Williams and he has made the path along the flower bed look pristine πŸ‘Œ

So we still have more tidying to do, we have plans to repair the boat and make sure our wildflowers have room to breathe and grow πŸ₯°

We welcome any help..πŸ’ͺ
Our tasks start at 11am until 1pm.
There's no pressure to stay the whole 2 hours,
stay as long as you want. We always have hot and cold drinks, biscuits and sometimes homemade cake πŸ˜‹

Huge thanks to two very helpful, volunteer missionaries Elder Torno and Elder Laureano who kindly dug over our wildflower bed, we appreciate your time and effort πŸ™....seeds are already sewn🌼🌹πŸͺ»πŸŒΈπŸŒ»πŸͺ·πŸ₯€πŸŒΊπŸ’

So just a mini crew today., the three of us, Paul got stuck in with clearing the path along the flower bed, he worked hard and we filled him up with biscuits and a cold drink to thank him πŸ˜ƒ Paul ALWAYS puts in 100% of what hes doing and never refuses to help πŸ˜ƒ

Lisa and l tidied up the flower bed as it was over grown with grass, we leave a little for cover and shelter for teeny creatures ...we like it looking natural and wild, no insects survive in a pristinely kept habitat. Part of today's task was to expose the wall, there are lots of holes and crevices where Bees, Frogs, Mice, insects and foliage will make their home and thats again our goal...natural habitats 😁

We now have colour and beauty all along the bed, we refilled the Butterfly πŸ¦‹ bowl and gave our rockery the once over...we're delighted with the results and to help all our lovely flowers we watered them πŸ’¦ until the next shower we get 🌧

Our group is small so any help is appreciated...please join us when you can.

We will post on here our next meeting date.
Its from 11am until 1pm. Stay half and hour or longer, whatever time you can spare is always appreciated and never questioned. Our tasks are rarely hard, we provide all tools and gloves and of course refreshments πŸ˜‹

Had a good tidy up of the flower beds and rockery this morning. It was great to get back together again and have a good chat with the volunteers, really nice to catch up. The weather was kind to us for a change, lots of bird song and circling buzzards. πŸͺβ›…οΈβ˜•οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
