Pollination - protecting nature
looking after the pollinators of our garden....Aquilegia flowers freely early summer and they love it, I allow it to self seed, lots of doff colours, they adore them and so do I. I talked to a lovely lady at the RSPB stand at Emley Show yesterday and she had a small log pile and small holes drilled into the logs too. I asked what these were for, and she said that frogs hibernate over the winter in the gaps between the logs, and solitary bees ( also v impt to pollination ) will lie dorment over the winter in the holes that were drilled in the logs. Something we could all put at the bottom of our garden.
