Over the last ten years, by simply rewilding and adding a few ponds, woodpiles and rockpiles, I've transformed a lifeless inner city garden into a haven for nature. Wishing you and yours all the very best and thank you for all your kind comments #Pondwatch

I’ve worked for Kier Starmer, I’ve worked with Penny Mordaunt. If after 14 years of decline you honestly think life for you, your friends & family will be better with the Tories over Kier leading a renewed labour gov (even though we’re broken & broke) you’re an idiot.

As most of the summer flower start to fade, if you can and your neighbours don’t mind, let the Ivy grow. It provides essential, early and late summer pollen and nectar. It will be full of pollinators all the way into winter.
