During the session we will run through how we garden for wildlife and the habitats we have introduced to benefit both wildlife and humans!
We’ll introduce you to our wildlife pond, amphibian hotel, dead wood piles, solitary bee hotel, wild flower areas, dead hedges, and other nature orientated interventions, as well as a tour of the gardens. We’ll give you practical advice as to the best pollinator plants for bumble and solitary bees and how these featured can be incorporated in your gardens or balconies.
Kindly funded by the Tottenham Flower and Producer show and The National Lottery. Donations to the garden always welcome!
