It’s World Bee Day! 🐝

Today is all about celebrating the little pollinators that keep our countryside thriving.

Even the smallest outdoor spaces, from decking areas to patios, can make a difference. By choosing a few bee-friendly plants in pots or containers, you can help create a mini haven for wildlife while adding colour to your plot.

If you’re unsure what plants and flowers to choose, the RHS has put together a brilliant guide. 👇
