RE: https://mastodon.social/@racingreen17/116379586899858924
With this in mind I’ve just planted a berberis that will produce flowers for pollinators and berries for the birds, to supplement our native mix hedge that never seems to make much fruit, and have a couple of kinds of sunflower, flax and forget-me-nots as recommended by the RSPB to go in pots next to our infrequent-cut-please-get-wilder “lawn” (now ~40% borage, also good for bugs and bees) on the way from https://realseeds.co.uk/ - an awesome supplier where my preferred human also gets most of the seeds for “our” i.e. mostly their allotment.

In this new blog post I share some ideas and issues I have had to deal with in trying to maintain my garden a safe space for wildlife to live in. It is a work in progress:
Wildlife gardening: an experiment

I have snowdrop, crocus, and snakes head fritillary bulbs arriving today and from another supplier seeds for marsh marigold, ragged robin, water mind, and water forget-me-not for around the pond. I still need to find a tulip to dissect for #Identiplant though.

burnedge.wordpress.com/2026/01/04/f... New blog post, first in a while. This is a little more diary-like than in the past, which may be the way forward as I work more on various garden / allotment projects #Allotments #Gardening #Wildlife #NatureWriting #WildlifeGardening #BlogPost
Full moon and dead hedge -
Pollarded willow -> dead hedge in the allotments. Nice to get something productive done in the hols. The non-path side is (long term) going to be a wildlife garden #allotments #gardening #wildlifegardening

Currently researching wildlife gardening barriers and interventions and one of the suggestions made in a study was for gardening buddies who could pair up with wildlife gardening novices which I thought was a really good idea. Would you be interested in this either as a volunteer or as somebody benefitting from the service? (or have you been involved in something similar?)

My wild carrot brings all the bugs to the yard.
This is easily the mvp of my back yard right now. Every one of its flower heads has insects visiting throughout the day, mostly hoverflies and small sweat bees. And best of all it was 100% free, grown from seeds collected on local walks. -

Some sort of #Ichneumon #wasp in the #ForestGarden, stunning

These grow along the dunes. Good ground cover for our garden. The pink is very cheery! Delightful name, Pigface. Bushtucker - maybe dune tucker - if you like the salty flavour. #NativePlanting #WildlifeGardening #Natives

More local native plants going in the garden. Hibbertia vestita / hairy guinea flower. #NativePlanting #WildlifeGardening #Rewilding

Meet one of my local natives. I'm growing it. This is Cymbopogon refractus, a QLD lemongrass from that genus. Yet to taste it! Will report back! Also called barbed wire grass. I'll show the flower shape soon. #nativePlanting #WildlifeGardening #Plants #Herbs

@Hellybootwader I hadn't thought of this, as a way of drawing down carbon. Do you have any links to hand?
I was inspired last night to read up on Sally Bower's report 'Nature from the rubble', very interesting

Blueberry flowers, so elegant, in friend's #ForestGarden. I've been interviewed for Woodlands TV YouTube channel, I talked about the #HopeGarden, #WildlifeGardening, #ClimateEnergency and #CommunityAssembly, #DirectDemocracy Katie the camera person was great, really easy going yet very focussed on getting the takes.

Grant application for the #HopeGarden has been submitted! What a lot of work and form filling!
It’s a #CommunityAssembly at the heart of a #Wildlife #ForestGarden 💚

You can hardly see it but I have pegged out the #GarddGobaith #HopeGarden at my local allotments. Applying for a grant in couple of months. Using white cotton twine and bamboo, high tech solutions.
It's a #wildlife #ForestGarden with a #CommunityAssembly at its heart 💚
Or rather, it will be!

"For pollinators' sake, don't spring into garden cleanup too soon": Resist that urge to get outside and clean up the yard (depending on where you live).

Some days, I have the best job in the world.
The paths have started on the #TirGarden in south Carmarthenshire! Machines to level the paths, then plant the canopy layer and windbreaks, plus #DeadHedge galore

Working on the #Syra #ForestGarden project today. Laid a load of bark onto the seating area to suppress any grass. This should last a good 3 years. The other seating area has way less mud, so will just keep adding stones to it.
