Biodiversity is the ‘buzz’ word at the Chelsea Flower Show

David Bellamy’s obviously agrees when he says ‘Be proud of your solar powered compost heap it buzzes with biodiversity the year round, while reducing, reusing and recycling garden waste’.

 So what are the best ways to increase biodiversity in your own back yard?

1) Small gardens may lack large trees so why not install a nesting box to provide a home to a family of birds?

2) Include plants that flowers through all seasons to attract insects all year round. 

3 Incorporate wet and dry areas, mosses and ferns as well as flowering plants and drystone walling. Tthe more nooks and crannies the better for biodiversity!

4) Put your vegatable peelings and tea bags to good use. Tuck a compost heap away at the bottom of the garden. You'll be pleased you did next year!

5) Plant flowers and herbs that attract bees... where would we be without them? Foxgloves, Sunflowers, Rosemary and Sage are great for starters!

So many people have been approaching us lately about the Easy Fill Hanging Baskets they have seen on the Ideal World Shopping Channel and on QVC. The baskets that come in 14", 12" and the new wall basket are the easiest to plant up and the healthiest for the plants. The side panels simply click out so that you can place mature plants in the side without damaging the roots by podging through tiny holes in liners. What is more, no moss is needed and as they are made from recycled material that makes them all the more eco!
