Root & Bloom Together

Great little spotter sheet for the little ones 💕

This May, do something for the environment by doing nothing at all! 🌱

Be part of by sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the bloom of flowers - you might be surprised by what appears. 🌼

Approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and with them, vital food and habitat needed by bees, butterflies and other wildlife. By putting away the lawnmower this May, you'll be giving nature the best start to summer. 🦋

This week is also , so don't forget to get outside and log what you discover on your lawn with this handy spotter sheet!

We’ve had hedges in the UK since the bronze ages and many of the hedges that exist today are truly ancient habitats. 🌳🔍

Some hedges are as old or even older than many ancient woodlands, making them a haven for wildlife!

It’s no surprise that many hedgerows host ancient woodland indicator species and native animals, birds, bats, dormice, rely on this ancient network for survival. 👇

Forest School is a powerful educational approach that immerses children in nature, offering them the freedom to explore, learn, and grow in an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and holistic development by protecting and prioritising play.

We’re already enjoying lots of juicy blackberries. 💜

Always forage any wild foods with thought for the other creatures living there too. As a rule of thumb, take only 10% if that feels right. There may be times when harvesting less, or harvesting nothing feels right.
