It's Chelsea week again.
There has been lots of talk
There has been lots of talk
about gardening for wildlife.
I'm already doing my bit,
so here is the part of the garden that
I call the wild.
It's hard to believe its little more than a year
since I began digging this area.
It's the shady side of the garden,
so I've used woodlandish plants.
It's also intended to be low cost,
with mainly plants already growing in the garden
like this rhododendron (which the bees love),
but also selfsown plants and plants I've divided.
So there are ferns and hostas from my Mums garden.
Self sown vebascum mullein.
Primula bulleyana
I love their silvery stems topped with the orange buds!
White foxgloves
a throw back from free seeds three years ago.
This is becoming my favourite spot in the garden,
maybe because of the lack of gardening needed,
it's just so relaxing..
and goes to prove you don't need a fortune to create
a show lovely garden.
And the rewards for wildlife gardening..
the wildlife of course!
I love the chirps of baby birds especially black birds.
Looks like the weather maybe a little dodgy this weekend,
but to be truthful
'the garden needs it!'
Have a great weekend everyone!
Clare
still suffering with the worst hayfever
since records began!
since records began!
this garden might turn into an all green affair...
