Keep your pots buzzing

Even the smallest space can house some pots filled with bee-friendly flowers rich in nectar and pollen. Choose from a diverse range of plants that flower at different times throughout the season, such as sweet alyssum, erysimum, echinacea and sedum. And if you make an online pledge before 31 August to plant a bee-friendly container under Hozelock’s Plant a Pot scheme you’ll be entered in a free draw to win prizes including gardening gift vouchers, tools, pots and even a cottage holiday with beekeeping session. To make your pledge, visit plantapot.info.
