If anyone feels like working in the shop in exchange for accommodation, this is the old gardener’s cottage, recently renovated.

Are you travelling by Southern this weekend? My friend Lucie desperately needs your help. She has spent nine months hand making this beautiful quilt out of disused kimono silk for her oldest friend's brand new baby:

If folk like Monty's idea of a cut flower bed (or garden!) as mentioned on #GardenersWorld, you might want to check out the cut flower packs that Benjamin Ranyard sell. He's usually got you covered for cut flower options!

Hi #GardensHour, Look at this wonderful miniature garden on a wall which I saw at a friend's house today

I love this space in my garden #GardensHour

On my evening round through the garden just now, I caught this monster slug as it was starting to devour the one tiny dahlia shoot (right in front of it) that survived previous slug onslaughts. The strulch all around did not seem to make a difference #GardensHour

Da ja am Sonntag die Europa-Wahl ist und alle immer auf die EU schimpfen und glauben sie würden gegängelt oder in Ihren Freiheiten beschränkt, wollte ich nur mal kurz ein paar kleinen Punkte hervorheben: 1. In der EU herrscht seit deren Gründung Frieden. Das ist die längste

You know I love the BBC & celebrate all the things we pay our licence fee for . But yesterday whilst 100K peaceful people marched to demonstrate their love for life all I could find on BBC News (UK) was a selfie of the gas-guzzling Taylor Swift . Im sorry but thats a disgrace

Covering parking lots with solar panels is a hell of a lot more sensible than plastering them over prime agricultural land.

This year the plants that work best in the garden are the ones I didn't do anything with. Like this yucca in flower #GardensHour

I love my small wildflower meadow at the front of the house. This year there is a lot of ragwort which is starting to be decimated by pretty cinnabar moth caterpillars #GardensHour

Heute Morgen im DLF: Die #FDP plant ein Programm für kostenloses Parken von Autos in Innenstädten aus Gründen der Gerechtigkeit wegen des 49-Euro-Tickets. Es wird immer dümmer. 🤦

Von kostenlosem und Flatrate-Parken in Innenstädten bis "Formel 1 als Innovationsmotor" ist im Pro-Auto-Papier der FDP vieles drin - nur leider kaum Sachverstand. Für ein wenig Aufmerksamkeit scheint die Partei bereit zu sein, jeden Preis zu zahlen. faz.net/aktuell/wirtsc…

Angle shades (Phlogophora meticulosa, German: Achateule) an awesome moth

The world's biggest rainforest, the Amazon, has lost an area the size of Germany + France combined to deforestation in 40 years. All those cheap hamburgers aren't the bargain they seem: they're costing us our planetary home. france24.com/en/live-news/2…

Honeybees are famous for working hard, but if you watch a hive, most of them spend a lot of time just chillin out on the honeycomb. So when people tell you you gotta "be a good worker bee".... now you know the secret to their work ethic. Secure housing, affordable food, & naps.

The new leaves on my daughter's mango plant are also a lovely shade of pink before turning green #houseplanthour

Hi #houseplanthour, what are your best tips for getting rid of thrips? They have reached most of my (numerous) houseplants. Had a lot of them outside during the summer but they just get reinfected inside now :(
