🌿 Let’s turn Sandgate into a pollinator paradise this May! 🌿

Skip the mower this May and let wildflowers like daisies, dandelions and clover burst into bloom. Those little flowers are a lifeline for hungry bees 🐝, butterflies 🦋 and other pollinators.

Even leaving one small patch to grow wild can make a huge difference. You might be amazed by what pops up when nature is given a moment to breathe.

🌱 Take the pledge and let it grow:

🌿 Wild About Sandgate 🌿

We’re so lucky to have beautiful wild spaces right on our doorstep—and right now, Enbrook Park is full of stunning bluebells 💙

A few fascinating facts about these woodland favourites:
• Ants help spread bluebell seeds, so you might even spot them popping up in your garden 🐜
• The chequered skipper butterfly (along with several moth species) feeds on their nectar 🦋
• Folklore says bluebells ring at daybreak to call fairies to the woods ✨
• In Elizabethan times, bluebell bulbs were used to make starch for stiffening ruffs

Why not take a wander and enjoy them while they’re in bloom?
