There was a very interesting talk at the library yesterday evening (23rd June) on Gardening with Wildlife by Neil Renwick of the RSPB. It included ideas for how to encourage more birds and wildlife into your garden e.g. don't deadhead plants (e.g. Lavender) in the autumn...if you leave them they provide a valuable food source for birds over the winter. They can then be deadheaded in February or March.
We hope to invite Neil back again in the future for a talk on another topic.
Thanks for all the genreous donations - we made nearly £100 and this is being shared between RSPB and the Friends of Rock Road Library.
