Using the drone to capture from above without walking on them. For those asking I prepared a stale seed bed by digging out the old grass and rotavating a few times. Then left for a while and weeded before raking in seeds at end of April. The manhole cover is for my water well.

✨ DYK Yellow Rattle suppress grass growth by attaching itself to the grass roots, drawing out moisture and nutrients, causing the grass to weaken. Less grass creates more space, allowing other wildflowers to establish without competition. Pre-order now connectingtonature.ie/collections/ye…

Happy Friday, nature lovers! Here’s something fun for the weekend! There’s something fulfilling about being out on a walk and being able to name the plants and flowers that grace the roadside verges, meadows and gardens – and we hope this chart we’ve put together helps 😊

You know I LOVE a bunch of bright and bold annuals 🌸 But there's something rather rewarding about a bunch of perennials like these beauties! Perennials, can take over three years to really show their true beauty, and be ready to make poseys

Great example of how a perennial meadow will differ from year 1 to year 2. I am SUPER excited to see this meadow develop over the years

"Amidst the poppy garden, I find my way, walking through a sea of crimson dreams, where hope blossoms with every step I take." Thank you to Colin P for sending us this fabulous photo of his wildflower garden earlier this summer, just before the corncockle and marigold bloomed

Did you know, beneficial predatory insects help to organically control pests and reduce pesticide application in the garden? Wildflowers provide shelter and food for predatory insects such as ladybirds, giving you a miniature army of pest-controlling helpers.

Reminder! Even in summer, your visiting garden birds still require supplementary feed as it’s their busiest time of year, rearing their young. connectingtonature.ie/collections/wi…
