Establishing their Coppice Area

Planting Honeysuckles

• Putting up wires to grow a honey suckle along the stone wall behind the social area
• Putting up trellis and planting 2 honeysuckles to cover the metal fencing erected by DCC

Tidying up our existing Flower Beds

• The garden's existing Bee Beds need some tlc after the winter
• We will be planting some extra “bee” plants too, mostly from plant divisions from our own gardens

Log / Bug Piles

• As an extra to their pollinator plans garden members will saw up some of the many branches in the garden
• The aim is to create 1 or 2 smaller log piles in the children’s area suitable for future mini beast hunting
