A day of gardening on the Wirral 🏖️🌼

The morning was spent with on their beautiful tapestry lawn we have worked hard to make it look incredible. This is an eco-alternative to a lawn which provides seasonal colour, food for insects and keeps the soil healthy and is also low maintenance.

The afternoon was spent at Birkenhead Central Library tidying, seeding and planting their nature and habitat garden. This is a low maintenance, habitat haven for insects, birds and hedgehogs using logs, sandy soil, pollinator friendly annuals, perennials and biennials, evergreen climbers and easy to grow vegetables and herbs.

If you’re ever over this way, drop by and see the gardens. They are always a work in progress, ever changing and climate adapting free public spaces for everyone to enjoy 💚

The beekeeping season is almost upon us!
And, so too, will be swarm season!

So, to prepare you for any sightings of swarms you may see, we are a registered swarm collector for Merseyside.

If you see a few thousand to tens of thousands of bees clustered together on a tree branch, wall, bench or car bonnet (that was my first catch, on an old yellow Fiat!) then give me a buzz (ahem) - send me a dm or contact through the BBKA swarm catching page.

If you are not familiar with honeybees, you may think they’re wasps as they’re not cute and fluffy (well, they are cute). If you have other bee issues like bumble bees (who are big and fluffy) or solitary bees (they can look like hairy flying ants or mini bumble bees) then drop me a dm as I can support on their situation.

Swarm removal is often free if it’s an easy catch and bumble and solitary is something I can give advice in and move bumble nests if necessary.

For any of my beekeeping students or groups who would like to help catch a swarm with me this spring and summer, get in touch. I’d love for you to be a part of this amazing learning experience

For reference, if you do see a swarm, please be careful around them. A new swarm can be fairly calm but a swarm that has been hanging around for at least 2 days can be hangry. Never prod or poke them or antagonise them in anyway. Block the access to them if they are near a public or useable space.

The first of the year

Some images I took today over Granby St including how the community cafe building is developing.

It’s been almost 15 years since I met the remaining residents of the 4 streets while writing my MA on the value of gardens in L8.

I’ve since been in close contact with them working on various planing schemes and a gardening role. Looking back at some of the pictures I’ve taken show the development in that time has been an incredible journey of collective community resilience.

Images 1-3 shows Granby market today and the 4th corner building.

Image 4 shows the market’s origins on Cairns St.
5-6 show local gardener Helen on Granby St tending to the plants of an empty building. Where people once loved opposite are missed so remaining neighbours painted their old view.

1st canoe litterpick & Pennywort patrol pick

We run a canoe club at Ford Lane Community Garden where we litterpick and fish out invasive floating Pennywort every month.
