Bees are most active from early spring through summer, and the best way to support them is by planting a variety of nectar-rich, pollen-heavy plants that flower across the seasons.
Top picks we stock:
Lavender – Loved by bees and gives off a calming scent
Salvia – A long-flowering perennial ideal for bees
Erysimum – Great early colour and pollinator-friendly
Allium – Fantastic early sources of nectar
Butterflies are drawn to brightly coloured, flat-headed flowers where they can easily land and feed. Many also lay their eggs on specific plants.
Ideal plants for butterflies:
Buddleja – A magnet for butterflies
Verbena bonariensis – Elegant and rich in nectar
Sedum – Provides late-season nectar
Oregano and Thyme – Great for humans and butterflies!
Garden birds need energy-rich food, especially in early spring when natural sources are still scarce. Offer a mix of seeds, fat balls, and suet blocks to attract a wide range of species.
In stock:
- High-energy bird seed mixes
- Fat balls and Dried insects
- Sturdy bird feeders and feeding stations
Don’t forget shelter—bushes, hedges, or a nest box can help birds feel secure.
Even a simple bird bath or shallow dish of water can make a big difference. Birds use it to drink and clean their feathers, while insects and bees benefit from a safe place to rehydrate.
Tip: Place stones or pebbles in the water to give bees a landing spot.
In stock:
- Bird baths in ceramic, stone or resin
- Mini wildlife ponds and solar-powered fountains
Keeping a clean and reliable water source in your garden will encourage regular visits from local wildlife. It also creates a peaceful focal point that enhances the look and feel of your outdoor space.
Pesticides can harm the very pollinators and insects you’re trying to attract. Try to garden as organically as possible—use companion planting, natural deterrents, and beneficial insects to manage pests.
We stock a range of organic feeds, composts, and natural pest control options for a more sustainable garden.
