Bee Food for the Sunken Gardens at Royal Esplanade Margate

A bid to create a haven for the rare Shrill Carder bumble bee, headed up by coastal warden Pete Hasted, has led to the creation of a group determined to rescue the Sunken Gardens. We are delighted to assist this Society (SGS) and will provide them with Cosmos – one of the most valuable food sources for bees. They will be planted by local nursery children. Each child will plant a small Cosmos flower and will be educated that they are very helpful to the bees.
