Description:
Sally started transforming her wildlife-friendly garden in 2008 with a native species hedge. She has since added a pond and rain garden system fed by roof run-off; it's brilliant to see birds coming down to drink and the variety of invertebrates and amphibians living in it. A self-sustaining wildflower meadow grows in size every year, its left to set seed, providing seeds for the large flock of house and tree sparrows. The latest addition is a green roof on the woodshed, which should be bursting with colour in July. Fruit trees, bushes and a variety of veggies are dotted throughout the garden, the architectural kale plants providing a fantastic contrast with purple poppies and evening primrose. Sally monitors the wildlife visiting the garden using cameras, moth traps and loves a dip of her net in the pond – bug hunts will be running throughout the day. Look through a selection of garden wildlife inspired art while enjoying a cuppa and cake.
