We are over halfway through the year! Can you believe it? The weather hasn’t been very kind lately considering it’s Summer, though we’ve heard the sunshine should be making a return soon!
Things to do in the garden this month:
- Hand weed borders regularly to stop seeds setting
- Feed, water and deadhead any summer bedding
- Remove any snails and aphids before they do any damage to your plants
- Take care when mowing and check for small wildlife hidden in long grass
- We've spotted lots of hedgehogs recently! If you'd like to encourage them into your garden you can leave water and chicken-based cat or dog food out
For your little ones:
- Have fun growing your very own Wheat Grass Head in a Bag
- Make your own Hedgehog home with The Wildlife Trusts - https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/actions/how-build-hedgehog-home
- Enjoy a range of Dandelion activities from our latest Willow & Wild Box
Whatever you get up to in the garden this month, we’d love to see your photos! Share them with us online by using #willowandwildbox or tagging @willowandwildbox
