WE'VE BEEN WHIPPING UP HABITATS 🐝

For the past couple of years we've been designing / supplying / installing solitary bee habitats (in various forms), and with another 4 going out this week we'd thought we'd have a shout about it.

These habitats offer important nesting site for various precious Solitary Bee species (and other insects), and atleast we think they look bloody beautiful.

As soon as we slot em in it feels like theyve always been there, we love the structure / variety they provide especially over winter, and we've seen them used so so much now across the city which makes us very very happy.

Solitary Bees don't live in hives, each female makes her own nest, often in small holes in wood, soil or stems. They're gentle, hardworking pollinators that play a vital role in supporting biodiversity and pollination.

In picture 7 you can see from the type of nesting material, that it's likely to be a leaf cutter bee, of which there are 7 species in the UK. Leaf cutter bees can use upto 40 species of leaf within just one nesting cell, and is a common species for us to be able to support with human made habitats.

If you've got a garden, public space, community space where you want to heighten it's ecological impact, and bring a bit of visual joy then give us a shouttt.

Full hearts after Friday night 💚

A massive thank you to everyone who came along to our Wild About Sneinton potluck.
What a lovely way to spend an evening. Shared food, big chats, new faces and familiar ones all round the same table.

These moments are exactly what Wild About Sneinton is about. Making space for people to connect, feel welcome, and help shape what this project becomes next.

The conversations, ideas and energy in the room reminded us why community really is the root of everything we do.

Thank you to everyone who cooked, everyone who came straight from work, everyone who brought stories, curiosity and smiles. And to the Salvation Army for hosting us.

This is just the start. More growing, more gatherings, more Sneinton grub sharing to come.

🌼 🌱 ✨

WE ARE LOVIN ❤️ 💚 💙

We want everyone, anyone and all of us to use the new greenspaces we've nurtured to do the things they love, are inspired by or that they think will support growing the spaces.

These spaces aren't "ours" as in grownotts' they are everyone's. We've built a fair bit of confidence over the years to crack on and treat public spaces like our own, and explore our own interests within them.

And this outlook something we hope too share, nurture and explore in lovely sneinton.

Someone asked us if there was any way they could help with what we're up to in Sneinton, and I said how's about you do whatever you feel inspired tooo but through the lens of gardensss. And this was the magic that transpired, alongside community art making at our event too.

I guess im just waffling a few of the things on my mind at the moment.

Point is, these spaces are OURS and we should treat them/ relate to them as such. And how can we go furthering this feeling?

Thanku thanku thanku left lion for your lovely piece about something that means the world to us.

Bloody chuffed and proud as punch to be reading the wonderful piece written by in this month's left lion.

As someone who's been a supporter and reader for years, it's very very nice to know the stuff we're upto is worthy of being spread across Notts in the written form.

Our Autumnal Wild About Sneinton was a wholesome, warming and inspiring affair, and it felt like the piece really captured that.
