@WestlandsUK We've tried to grow it from seed. Only had one semi-successful plant and it's still tiny after 4 years! What's your secret?

@NorfolkWT We truly believe it’s a mistake to stop posting on X. Many of your 21k followers here don’t use Facebook, Instagram or Threads and will miss your wonderful wildlife updates so much. Please reconsider keeping a light presence. Your work means the world to us! ❤️

The Welsh lizards that live in our garden wall love a bit of coal and slate because it soaks up the sunshine and gives them warmth. Here’s a pregnant female from last summer and I know lots of you will say “ oh don’t anthropomorphise” but she’s smiling as far as I’m concerned 😉

What an incredible thing to see outside your window!

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Yarrow will grow in your shittiest soil, survive your driest summer, and feed more pollinators than most plants you actually tried to grow.

Yarrow blooms from late spring through fall, making it one of the longest pollinator windows of any garden plant.

Miner bees, mason bees, bumblebees, leafcutter bees, sweat bees, checkered beetles, and butterflies all use it.

It builds soil as it grows, tolerates drought, and spreads gradually without being aggressive. It comes back every year without replanting, expensive fertilizer, or much water once it's established.

One note worth knowing: many yarrow plants sold at big box garden centers are European ecotypes or colorful cultivars, not true North American natives.

For maximum wildlife value, look for Achillea millefolium from a native plant nursery in your region.

Plant it in a sunny spot with decent drainage. Come back in summer and count how many things are using it.

Sitting by a stream in the dappled light. I’ll take this memory home with me and I’ll sip it later, slowly.

A magical moment: I took some garden waste to our green bin, looked up and saw this Peacock on apple blossom. It stayed long enough for me to snap a picture.
