SMALL WAYS TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
Pop in more bulbs
There’s always room for more bee-friendly spring bulbs like crocus, grape hyacinth or snake’s head fritillaries.
Leave your lawn long
Leave slightly long to help it revamp and provide a spot for starlings to eat leatherjackets and insects.
Plant wallflowers
Plant bare-roots or plugs of Erysimum cheiri, the common wallflower. They provide food for bees.
Food for hedgehogs
It’s nearly hibernation time, so boost their food stocks with shallow dishes of water and meat-based cat food.
