Wilding Wimborne

From the RHS website:

If you want to encourage wildflowers in your lawn, try No Mow May. As the name suggests, you simply stop mowing in early May, which allows the wild plants already in your lawn to grow up and flower, adding colour and attracting pollinating insects and other wildlife. You can leave your whole lawn uncut or just a section.  community, or giving a second life to ingredients that most commonly go to waste

National Moth Week
Moths are among the most diverse and successful organisms on earth.
Scientists estimate there are 150,000 to more than 500,000 moth species.
Their colours and patterns are either dazzling or so cryptic that they define camouflage. Shapes and sizes span the gamut from as small as a pinhead to as large as an adult’s hand.
Most moths are nocturnal, and need to be sought at night to be seen – others fly like butterflies during the day.

National growing for wellbeing week - a celebration of the magic that growing your own produce can do for your wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
