Teamwork to make the Bee dream work!

In preparation for World Bee Day on May 20th,  our Newbourne neighbours, customers and team have all helped to plant up a new 'Bee Cafe' at the nursery.  We're pleased to joining the Woodbridge Bee/Wildlife Corridor with this new initiative and to be offering the  bees to our site a tailored menu of pollinator-friendly plants grown in peat free compost. 

Susie was delighted to enlist the help of 2 of the Bee Keepers from Birchwood Primary School to start the planting when they visited us recently to select plants for their own Bee Blossom  Garden.  Since then we've had help to plant the bee-friendly perennials from Newbourne neighbours, teenagers Iris & Annie; Katie's Garden customers;  and our own team including Darcey one of our work experience students  from Suffolk Rural Horticulture college, Otley, 

We're grateful to Paul Martin from the Bee Cafe CIC for providing the cafe and are looking forward to watching how the plants grow in this new design - and of course to seeing which bees and pollinators stop by! You'll find it at the entrance to our garden area - so please stop and take a look on your next visit to the nursery too!
