Go Wild: Planting Wildflowers to Encourage Biodiversity with Nick Hall
Episode 3, Aug 07, 10:46 AM
We're hanging out at Bosavern Community Farm with Nick Hall where we are learning about his Wildflower Project.
We tour the polytunnel and growing area where he and his team grow a variety of quality plants which have the purpose of not only looking wonderful but maximise attracting a variety insects, invertebrates and wildlife into one's garden patch. We learn to be on the lookout for seeds and/or plants which provide quality nectar to offer the best nutrition to your garden visitors.
Nick's Wildflower Project and The National Trust work together to provide specialist plants which the National Trust uses to help in restoring meadows around West Cornwall. Nick speaks about the collaboration and how building and making a wildflower garden no matter the size of one's patch is vital to our future survival.
