It is lucky to see a robin in your garden, as there is a belief that robins hold the spirits of loved ones. The saying ‘robins appear when loved ones are near’ is perhaps more special now as robins are less visible, often retreating to woodland over summer. #FolkloreSunday

@theiaincameron @MarksLarks That’s why botanic gardens and seed banks are so vital. If the seeds made it to a botanic garden and germinated they will be growing in a living collection by now and could be reintroduced one day. But agree, better not to destroy the habitat in the first place.
