Summer wildlife open garden - Saturday 11 July 10am to 4pm.

Our last open garden was such a success that we are doing it all again (!) with the chance to see our mini wildflower meadow and prairie planting in full bloom. Get inspiration for how to help wildlife in your own green space.

Visitors can see how we are creating two very distinct wildlife gardens to encourage birds, insects and mammals to thrive. Discover the South garden which is packed with perennial wildflowers and meadow grasses, dead hedges, log walls, a collection of small native trees, insect hotels and a Barn Owl box.

Then explore our North garden which is a climate resilient gravel garden featuring a Victorian glasshouse packed with plants and surrounded by prairie style border planting.

We've been busy creating the wildlife garden over the past 2.5 years. Part of the site was formerly a cattery and kennels. Following the removal of the buildings by hand, in Autumn 2025 over 200 tons of concrete was crushed, some of which has remained on site as the environmentally friendly substrate for the new garden. We have planted over 100 trees and metres of hedging as well as adding planting for birds and pollinators. We won a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Wildlife Gardening Gold Award in 2025 and 2026.

Refreshments and toilets available. Nature jewellery and plant stall. Reading room in the shepherd's hut with books on organic gardening, foraging and more.

Please message me for more info and the address.

I have a wildflower and organic plant stall which is also open daily. Please message me for info about what plants are available :-)

Just two handsome best friends, reunited after a brief trip around the country visiting family 💛💙

Cavendish was able to travel with us but the mice in the meadow have been enjoying their time Alfie-free for a few days.

This giant cat mint is absolutely buzzing with bees. They love it!

Bully boy hedgehog! One is just going about his hoggy business and then - boom! Hedgehogs do actually injure each other when they fight like this.

No need for such nastiness boys - plenty of food for all ❤️🦔❤️

Dead wood for wildlife

More proof that log walls and log piles are brilliant for wildlife. Dead wood provides a home for insects like beetles and ants. This Blackbird has stripped the entire log at the bottom of the log pile to get at all the tasty insects.

We tend to remove dead materials from our gardens far too readily but they provide the perfect habitat for insects - which in turn provide food for birds and mammals. We've also found toads in our dead wood piles.

This Blackbird is a mum. I have some lovely videos of the pair feeding their chicks on the log wall. It is a wonderful spot used by so many creatures - including a pair of robins and even a chiffchaff.

Happy Wednesday everyone :-)

One of my most favourite ‘before’ and ‘after’s. These beds are just buzzing and we’ve let some of the glorious vivid purple Hedgerow Cranesbill go wild in here 🌸❤️🌸

Build it and they will come 😍

We built a 'stoatitat' to try and attract stoats to the garden. We knew there were stoats in the area because we had seen them crossing the road a little further up the hill.

We have a range of log walls in the garden built by the legend that is Phil - nothing dead is ever wasted here. We have some that are beautifully stacked and others that are just big log piles full of holes and crevices. This is the one that is being used by the stoat. It does still actually look beautiful too!

Stoats are incredibly fast and hard to capture on camera but I have increased the sensitivity of the video capture and hope to get more videos soon.

Build it and they will come - I almost promise you! x

WILD ABOUT WILDLIFE!

It has been a very busy two days.

Yesterday I led a walk around Primrose Wood in Pocklington talking about the history, wildlife, trees and wildflowers. The wood was once part of the estate of Percy and Katherine Stewart (former owners of Burnby Hall Gardens) and our land in Burnby was once part of their estate too. It has been fascinating to learn about the history as part of my research for the walk. I also talked about the railway that once connected Pocklington with York and Beverley that cut through the wood.

Then today Phil and I welcomed a private group from Greener Pocklington and Pocklington University of the 3rd Age. I led a tour around our gardens looking at the work we have done here to create a wildlife haven. We talked about the plants, wildflowers, trees and how to replicate the ideas in your own garden.

I will be leading two more walks this month in Primrose Wood and we are also now ready to welcome group visits to the garden so please do get in touch if you are interested.

We had excellent feedback from both the walk and tour visit and I am thrilled that everyone enjoyed themselves and learnt a little bit too. Thank you so much for joining us. We loved meeting you.
