1 year since I dug a small #wildlifepond and #boggarden at my allotment in S. England. The results have been phenomenal and prove that with just a few weeks of back breaking labour and an unhealthy obsession with water depths & #nativeflora, you too can make a special and much needed #habitat..🧵

The difference between 'cutting' and laying a hedge. 1st is a recently decapitated Hazel, slowly dying and providing ever decreasing value to wildlife. 2nd is my attempt at conservation hedge laying - a dense thicket of Blackthorn, a sanctuary for all manner of creatures. Looks nicer as well..
