Wildflower Patch


This year we have set aside a piece on our garden for Wildflowers, which include Poppies and Cornflowers. There are many different types of wildflowers among the mixture, which are currently looking very nice.
We just put two packets of Wildflower seeds over an area we did'nt really use and up they all came.
I think it also helps attract the bees which are in decline lately here in the UK.
We are also getting a Hedgehog visiting our garden at night, so we put food and water out for him too.
Its so important now to attract wildlife to your garden and to stop using things like slug pellets which kill Hedgehogs and Birds, etc. Much better to have a garden without any chemicals & poisons being used.
