Feeding the birds is a fun activity for children to get involved in, it's a way they can clearly see what they're doing is good by the birds eating and coming to the garden. There's a lot of different things you can make for your garden birds - the funest and messiest is definitely making [...]
For those of you who don't already know, I love my garden! I love to encourage all types of wildlife into the wild space and I enjoy planting and growing my own. So that being said, I've been gifted some Seedballs to show you the easiest way of encouraging wildlife into your garden so matter [...]
There's one thing that every Brit can agree on - we all love Strawberries! I've been growing my own strawberries for about 5 years now, but having to buy shop bought Strawberries during my time at Slimbridge, you can really taste the difference. My homegrown are very very sweet, the varieties I grow are Cambridge's Favourites [...]

This week (Feb 14th-21st) is National Nestbox Week and is definitely one of my favourite yearly celebrations. You can nab yourself some great deals on boxes, kits and some goodies for your gardens or wild spaces. To kick-start the week, myself and my very good friend Sammy went to visit the boxes at WWT Llanelli [...]
January has been a less than exciting month for me personally, but there's plenty of wildlife activity going on that makes up for it all! Over the Winter period is a great time to get out and look for large numbers of ducks, geese and swans. Places like WWT Welney or WWT Martin Mere have [...]
