Not quite gardening, but a great Sheffield wildlife story

[Patrick Barkham @patrick_barkham]

Everyone feeling eco-despair (and I do) needs to know that ordinary people are doing LOADS of amazing things for wildlife and climate in neighbourhoods and local communities. These stories don't often reach mainstream media but here's one that has... https://t.co/UVEJNgGj6x

Very excited to visit this garden in Walkley tomorrow… from sterile plastic lawn to emerging wildlife haven with loads of different features - ponds, owl houses, hedgehog staircases and more... Saturday 16th, 2-4, 96 Carr Road, Walkley, S6 2WZ https://t.co/vBo3PP2xxf

Fascinating, inspiring and relaxing tour of three gardens and an orchard in Wharncliffside and Ewden this afternoon with so many butterflies we never see on our suburban part of the city. Lots of ideas for doing things a bit differently and taking things a bit wilder.

[Sheffield Open Wildlife Gardens @WildOpenShef]

We’re very excited to be heading out to this later - a beautiful sunny day so hoping for an abundance of butterflies and insects💚

[Sheffield Open Wildlife Gardens @WildOpenShef]

It’s Wednesday and there’s a new guided tour of the 3 lovely gardens in Wharncliffe and Ewden on Saturday 1pm. Contact details in Facebook event, but if you don’t have access then please DM here for non-Facebook contact details https://t.co/LrgIKitpVm…

[Sheffield Open Wildlife Gardens @WildOpenShef]

It’s #RoseWednesday we’d love to see your wildlife loving your roses. Bees (and other insects) love this rose as much as us.

[Sheffield Open Wildlife Gardens @WildOpenShef]

@Tweedyteacup Love bees sleeping in flowers❤️

[Sheffield Open Wildlife Gardens @WildOpenShef]

@SusanneCraw Mmm, mead. I only seem to get this on holiday and I’ve found a few I love (and can’t remember names of) and some that excite me less. Any recommendations?
