Help garden beetles survive the winter! 🪲🍂 Build a simple beetle stack and support wildlife in your garden:

✂️ Gather straight prunings from shrubs and trees
🎋 Cut to 40cm, remove side shoots
🏗️ Stack in layers around a bamboo cane
🪢 Tie corners with string or raffia
🍁 Fill with fallen leaves for cosy shelter

My first honey as a bee keeper this is from the spring crop. Looking forward to tasting the summer crop when it is ready.

The Cheshire cat is watching you. 👀
The dahlias are blooming, the lily pads are growing and the statues are looking beautiful amongst the foliage. The garden and creatures have really benefited from such a lovely summer and as one of the gardeners I have the privilege of watching it in all its glory!
Ps. How gorgeous is this dragonfly, rescued from the glasshouse. Cobwebs removed and sent back on his way to the ponds! ☺️

What lovely weather we have had here at carestown! The gardens are full of colour, filled with buzzing bees and bird parents. 🐝 (Also how fabulous is the laburnum walk beginning to look!)
