Wildlife Herbaceous Border at LWT Wildlife Gardening Centre
Beddington Park Herbaceous Border
Went to the London Wildlife Trust Wildlife Gardening Centre today for a bit of inspiration for the obs wildlife garden. Plenty of insects on Verbenas, Tansy, Corncockles, Knapweed, Golden Rods, Agrimony, Scabious, Orpines, Sedums, Lemon Balms and Mints so I'll be bringing in some of them. However might mix it up a bit with some more striking herbaceous plants like in Beddington Park to get the best of both worlds.
Today's featured pan species Beddington lifer is Soapwort. Also today Sloe Shieldbug and on the moth front Purple and Gold pyralid sp, Uncertain and recently also had Shuttle-shaped Dart.

Hi all,
A wildlife garden is an environment that is attractive to various forms of wildlife such as birds, amphibians, reptiles, insects, mammals and so on. This wildlife garden will usually contain a variety of habitats that have either been deliberately created by the gardener,or allowed to self-establish by minimising maintenance and intervention. Thanks a lot......

that's what I want.
You can get fantastic plant sets for insects and birds from lots of companies these days, I have a stables and allow a few areas grow wild for all of the birds and insects that we get and it's so lovely to see the bees at work or birds foraging for food for their babies. I bought a bird trees collection from Plants Delivered http://www.plantsdelivered.co.uk/products/bird-trees-collection and have planted the trees in to large barrels and put them by the stables so we don't just have the birds in the trees from the fields!
Reminds me of the Truman Show- where conversation is loaded with advertisements. Scary times :-))
