\nTwo weeks ago, I saw John Killick at the Climate Emergency Centre offering Biodiversity tours of St Ethelwolds Garden. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time then, and have popped down since but not found him again. Maybe I’ll do a report on Biodiversity in September.<\/p>\n

I noticed that some parts of the garden, once vibrant, are now ripening with lots of seeds.
\n
\nThe south facing orange yellow border is a bright as ever
\n
\nas is the border of white flowers with pots of Cosmos along the side of the house.
\n
\nThe herb garden has the refreshing scent of mint and chives.
\n
\nThere aren’t many birds, probably because people are usually around. There are lots of bees and flies and spiders, but few wasps. There have been more headlines about the disappearance of wasps. \u201cWhere have all the wasps gone?\u201d<\/a>
\n
\nThe other noticeable feature of August are the maturing fruit such as these apples.
\n
\nVisitors don’t usually pick the fruit themselves but are welcome to the windfalls and teasle cuttings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
