There are around 270 species of wild bee in the UK, but only one species of managed honey bee. Yet they all compete for the same food. Growing more flowers will help feed your local wild bees and the honey bees.

Let Herbs And Salads Bloom For Busy Bees 🐝
You are probably growing herbs and salads for their amazing flavours and health benefits. But did you know they also are amazing for pollinators? When allowed to flower, they become buzzing hubs of activity, and they are quick to grow and to flower – making them a great choice to plant in summer months.

And did you know that herbs also have health benefits for pollinators?
Research has shown that bees seek out specific herbs, like thyme, to self-medicate against fungal infections. So, not only do herbs and salads benefit us, but they also provide support for our pollinator friends.

Let Your Edible Garden Bloom:
When growing herbs and salads in your garden, consider leaving a few plants to flower. This provides vital flowers for pollinators while still allowing you to harvest fresh greens. Plus, the flowers are very pretty and add a burst of colour and fragrance to your garden. It’s a win-win!

In the month of August you can find different seed vessels - like the shaker-pots of poppies or the tight, fluffy, fists of wild carrot.

Did you know you can start sowing wildflowers from late August, making it a great time to go seed collecting!

Pick the pods from flowers and pop them in a paper bag or envelope, remember to label and date, either scatter this autumn or share with friends. Wildflower seeds will remain viable for many years if kept in a cool, dry and dark place.

Every day, I’m out there — eating aphids, protecting your flowers, guarding your veggies.
I’m one of your garden’s tiny, silent heroes. 🌱✨

But when you spray chemicals, you don’t just target pests — you wipe out your best allies too.
Without me and my friends (spiders, wasps, beetles, and birds), your garden loses its natural defense team.

🌿 Instead, choose nature’s way:
➡️ Skip chemical sprays.
➡️ Welcome ladybugs, spiders, and beneficial bugs.
➡️ Let wild corners thrive.
➡️ Trust natural balance to protect your plants.

Your garden doesn’t need poisons.
It needs heroes like us. 🐞🌸
