As with many aspects of nature this year, the pollinators have been late arriving. I’m deliberately choosing to decorate our garden with flowers that will attract bees, butterflies and hoverflies<\/a> and have included a Bees Banquet range of seeds in the Greenside Up Gift Cards. <\/a><\/p>\n

If you love bees and would like to find out more about them, take a look at Bridget Strawbridge’s blog where she’s writing about the importance of biodiversity and especially bees (@BeeStrawbridge on twitter).<\/a> Bridget is a passionate and knowledgeable advocate for our little friends and you’ll learn heaps from her.<\/p>\n

It’s a joy to see our little friends back and buzzing around the garden again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
