We assembled some kits from Kew Gardens also to attract insects into.
Half the roof is felted; the other half has been made into a planter for a "green roof"...
...which has now been planted with sedums and some wild flowers.
We've also sown seeds (poppies and foxglove) to plant out into the wildlife area in spring. We mowed and raked the grass with a view to creating "bald patches" to plant perennial wild flowers into.
In other news, we tried planting bulbs but to no avail! The ground is just too compacted, so we have resorted to pots instead, and lifted some turf to put crocus bulbs onto the bare earth and cover with compost.
The Ellon Resource Centre Group continue to care for the garden every Monday - wonderful to have folk here regularly to look after things! :)
