Day 2 of 30 Days Wild and today we have put up some hanging baskets in bloom to help the local wildlife. There are different colours to attract different wildlife.
Lots of bumblebees mainly Bombus Lapidarius which is a black bumblebee with an orange bum, have taken an interest in the flowers today.
Another favourate for the Bumblebees in the garden is some French Lavender (pictured below) that was planted last weekend. As well as providing a great scent in the garden, its a great source of nectar for bees and a hiding place for other nature.
There are many different plants that can attract a variety of nature into your garden from bees to butterfiles.
Here are some links that show great plants to have in your garden.
