Bees

"Sacha" wrote in message ... Without wishing to blow our own trumpet, we were asked to make a link to a local bee keeping society and I made a page that includes a list of plants that bees like: http://www.hillhousenursery.com/buzz.html That is excellent, thank you. Just what I needed. I think you deserve to blow your own trumpet!!! Very kind of you but its aim is to be useful to bee keepers or those who want to attract bees to the garden! We do try to keep up with the weeding but for example, always leave some of the bryony or coral, as Ray calls it, here and there because birds love the berries. Over-tidy gardens aren't attractive to my eyes, anyway - which is just as well - but they're not wildlife friendly, either. I would love to let a large part of the field go wild but unfortunately, with a Nursery the weed seeds wouldn't be desirable. However, we do get a lot of grasshoppers in there, had a large blue butterfly two years ago (which is quite rare) and of course the grass snakes are up there, too, plus a small arboretum. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.
