      I wonder what they are?! Would be good even to be scattered in the hedgerows if not the garden

      We’ve chosen seeds of native British wildflowers, a mix of white clover, red campion and selfheal. The pollen of these wildflowers are Michelin starred as far as bees are concerned! And they’re easy to grow too.

      thanks Shiney!

      Bees are having a hard time and so this is a excellent idea.

        Sorry some of you didn't get there in time :sad:

        There is a minor down side to having signed up. Apparently, they campaign against certain issues (read the extract in nFrost's post). If you don't want to be asked to look at what they are campaigning about you may need to unsubscribe.

        I signed the above petition I get emails from them and it`s usually a good cause, not sure if some of it`s not scare mongering though.

        I'm always wary of these sort of things. Particularly if they're reported in the Mail! :heehee:

        Some are correct and others don't give you the full picture. If anything catches my eye I always do my own research. :blue thumb:
