A fun walk thru' #Tonbridge on the trail for flower patches & bees. Led by local naturalist Ian Beavis. Guaranteed that you'll come back with a wealth of information on our favourite pollinators & something to talk about around well deserved cakes & fruit afterwards

My favourite crusade: saving the insect world. Without them, there would be no nature left for us to enjoy and most of our food would be gone. Love the insects, love the planet #Tonbridge theguardian.com/environment/20…

Might not be everyone favourite subject but have you thought of how green would be your burial. For me, no embalming with formaldehyde, wicker basket and natural burial with a tree that feeds insects and birds on top of it. #Tonbridge theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
