Wild About Gardens Officer
Typically, most gardeners and farmers grow annual vegetable crops – those that are sown, planted, and harvested within one growing season. But perennial fruit and vegetables, which grow and produce food for many years, are becoming increasingly popular. And with good reason!
Looking to create a garden that’s not just beautiful but also provides a range of benefits for wildlife, as well as ongoing summer flowers? There’s lots of consider when choosing plants. I’m the Wild About Gardens Officer at Kent Wildlife Trust and these are my favourite summer plants that are blooming in my garden this season.
What does wildlife-friendly gardening mean to our new Wild About Gardens Officer? Ellen Tout shares what inspires her garden, and how we can all make a huge difference for nature right outside our back doors.
