The bees are absolutely loving this Aster - Inga's Swedish Treasure, which still has plenty of food for the pollinators at this time of year! It does not need staking and is invaluable for late summer flowers, up to 5 feet. They are just simple daisies that give an enormous amount of structure and colour to the garden at the end of the summer when other perennials are fading with the autumn weather. We use them to ensure that there is no pollinator starvation gap; no matter what summer we have had, they are really reliable. Just gorgeous; put them in your gardens 🌸😍 #endofsummer #gardening #gardeninglife #plantnursery #pollinatorfriendly #latefloweringplants #pollinatorgarden #wildlifephotographer #Aster
This lovely Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) has finished for the year and is now going to seed! We enjoyed a wonderful show this season, with many more flower heads than last year. Of course, I’ll be leaving the artichoke-like flower heads for our flock of goldfinches in the pasture, while also harvesting seed to sow for next year! Happy gardening 👩🌾🧑🌾 #cardoon #cardoonflower #gardening #gardener #gardeninglife #seasonchanges #endofsummer
Hello my lovelies ☺️ I saw this article on the BBC, 'Restrict sale of pet flea treatments, government urged' (linked below), and wanted to share my thoughts about it and share it with my followers so you are aware. Please do your own research and make your own decisions! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1m1xdyk0j0o What do you think?

Has anyone else noticed the lack of wasps this summer? As you all know I love and adore wasps. I wanted to share this article with you all, linked below, and my thoughts about how we need to treat wasps, they are an important part of our eco system, should not be killed and children not taught to be afraid of them! https://theconversation.com/where-have-all-the-wasps-gone-this-summer-288535 Thank you for watching, and remember, be kind to wasps! 🐝 #wasps #wasplove #ecosystem #britishheatwave
Hello my lovelies! I wanted to share my thoughts on an article in the guardian I read about planting drought-tolerant plants due to our changing climate. (Link Below to the article) What do you think? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/05/englands-climate-is-changing-and-our-planting-must-change-with-it Come and visit me at the pasture and we can talk about how best to keep your gardens happy through this ever changing climate! Thank you for watching 🌿
The Cosmos are STILL flowering 😱🌸😍🎋 We still have Cosmos available to purchase from the nursery for just £4.50!!! They are beautiful, in shades of pink and white, which will continue to flower throughout September. A great plant to put in your garden this time of year when everything else is dying down. #cosmos #cosmosflower #lateflowering #latefloweringplants
Hello my lovelies! I filmed this video a few weeks ago when we had the extreme hot weather and wanted to get you all thinking about why your garden plants suffered so much! The wild plants of the pasture stood up quite well to the extreme weather, thinking out loud, why do garden centre plants need SO much to keep them alive? On another note, a tip from me would be to overplant your borders, visible soil is no good and you want your borders as full as possible to keep the border protected! Why do you think? Thank you for watching 👩🌾🌾☀️
Humming-bird Hawk-moth spotted at the pasture 🦋🎋🌸 They are absolutely wonderful little creatures that migrate to the UK from Southern Europe every year, it gets it name, very obviously from the 'humming' of its wings, like that of a Hummingbird! We have had a lot of sightings in the UK this year, always a welcome sight here at the pasture! #hummingbirdhawkmoth #naturephotography #whitstable #pollinatorfriendlygarden #pollinatorfriendly

The Butterflies are absolutely loving this Hawthorn Tree in Mandys Woodland Garden! 🦋😍🌳 I thought it was a bit odd, and it turns out there are microscopic fichers on the bark, releasing sap! The Hawthorn tree is feeding the butterflies, nature provides! Nature really is wonderful 💚 #pollinatorfriendly #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendlygarden #pollinators #whitstable #NatureMagic #butterflygarden #butterfly
Lobelia – Monets Moment (sorry not for sale 😂) 🌸🌿 This is the only lobelia in the family that does not produce viable seed, so we are propagating from cuttings and this takes time and effort to do. It is exactly the same as our other herbaceous lobelia with attractive green foliage and a very striking rich Pink flower – simply stunning! Take note and come back next year to see how we get on with taking cuttings! #lobelia #monetsmoment #pollinatorfriendly #plantnursery #cottagegarden #pollinatorgarden #perrenialgarden #pollinatorfriendlygarden #whitstable #pollinators

Persicaria – Amplexicaulis Golden Arrow 😍🌾 This plant is such a bright star in what may be a difficult part of your garden – Golden Arrow literally “shines out” with its gorgeous lime coloured leaves the effect is wonderful. It is incredibly tough and hardy, it will cope with moisture too, returning year after year. It acts as valuable weed-suppressing with a surprisingly bright dark Pink flower, produced in abundance in July through to October. These perennials keep some foliage during the winter and can withstand minus 20 with no problems. We have found that they do need regular water until they are established but after that, growth is quick and wonderful… #persicaria #pollinators #perrenialgarden #pollinatorfriendlygarden #pollinatorfriendly #whitstable #pollinatorgarden #cottagegarden #plantnursery
Physostegia – Pink Rose Crown 🌸🌿 This form is an American style of the normal white type; With one MAJOR DIFFERENCE it is not so obedient! Gorgeous lilac coloured flowers arrived much later than its English cousin but when they did they were completely forgiven – a much taller plant the colour is superb and the flowering are brilliant food for pollinators. This plant would look lovely in any English Cottage Style Garden 😍🎋 #physotegia #perrenialgarden #whitstable #pollinatorgarden #pollinators #pollinatorfriendlygarden #plantnursery #cottagegarden #pollinatorfriendly
Gatekeeper Butterfly in the Pasture 🦋🌾 Spotted fluttering amongst the long grass, these Butterflies favourite Nectar sources include Common Fleabane, ragworts and Bramble, of which we have plenty!

Let me introduce you to Herbaceous Lobelia 🪻😍🌿 - FLOWERING NOW!! Lobelia Vedrariensis - Producing very dramatic spires of bright electric purple, hood-like flowers on stately, narrow spikes bloom July to September. Adaptable to almost any situation, it is happiest in damp conditions. Being the same vibrant colour of Salvia Amistad, if your garden is not suited to Salvia, maybe this will do the trick? Lobelia are true perennials and are certainly much hardier and more reliable whatever the winter weather brings, returning year on year for many years. Put them in your gardens! 👩🌾 #pollinatorfriendlygarden #plantnursery #pollinatorgarden #pollinators #cottagegarden #whitstable #lobelia #purpleflower #perrenialgarden
Please stop buying Eupatorium – Ivory Towers – Queen of the Meadow, I am not willing to share her anymore 🙏😂 Instead, you are more than welcome to buy the Rudbekia – Goldsturm 🌻🌼 Both wonderful plants for your gardens! Come and visit me to see for yourself 😍 #pollinators #cottagegarden #pollinatorfriendly #pollinatorgarden #whitstablekent #pollinatorfriendlygarden #plantnursery #funnyvideo #funnygardening
The Cosmos are ready! 🌸🌿😍 Come and visit me to get yours, they are too big to ship this year so collection only im afraid! A wonderful annual for your gardens, if you pinch them out they become sturdy bushes at a lower height and if you just ignore them, well, the next thing you know is that the frothy fern like foliage is moving in the summer breeze, and then the flowering begins in earnest giving a height of possibly 5 feet. Both pink and white varieties available in the nursery! #whitstable #pollinatorgarden #plantnursery #pollinatorfriendly #whitstablekent #cottagegarden #pollinators #pollinatorfriendlygarden

Dragonflies in the Secret Stream 🪰💦✨ The incredible way wildlife quickly inhabited the Secret Stream after the Goat Willow was removed is an incredible sight to see! We have had swarms of Dragonflies laying their eggs in the stream, flying around landing on leafs, dipping the tips of their bodies into the water to drop their eggs in, and preparing for their next generations. This is just the beginning and we can't wait to see what other insects and wildlife visit us here! 🙏🌾💦 #ecosystemconservation #ecosystem #dragonfly #dragonflyphotography #dragonfliesphotos #wildlifephotography #biodiversity #pasturegarden #waterforwildlife
