Grow bee-friendly plants to provide essential nectar and pollen.

Clean and sterilise feeders and bird tables. Use hanging feeders and ground feeders.

This Month's Key Tips

Make the pond more wildlife-friendly by placing logs and stones around the edge for shelter.
Always water potted blueberries with rainwater. The lime in tap water reduces the acidity of the soil over time.
If your houseplants like humidity, mist them frequently through warm weather days.
Harvest flower heads from your lavender plants to use in baking, crafting, or as a garnish to your meals.
Protect crops from carrot fly by covering with horticultural fleece.
Keep your bird baths topped up with water in hot weather!
