If Nature Thrives - We All Thrive
Blackthorn Blossom
Hedgerows are a Lifeline for Wildlife
As Blackthorn flowers in early Spring, around March, it is a lifeline for overwintering pollinators who are starting to emerge
Blackthorn Berries
The berries from Blackthorn are known as sloes which are a foragers delight and are used to flavour gin in the autumn, ready as a tipple in time for consumption at Christmas!
It is well known for attracting wildlife and pollinating insects and so is perfect for a wildlife hedgerow
Dog Rose Flower
One our most favourite Hedgerow Flowers.
Look out for them in May & June
Dog Rose Hips
Dog rose flowers are an important nectar source for insects and its fruits are a food source for birds such as blackbirds and redwings .
Rose hips are high in vitamin C
Hawthorn Flowers
Beneficial to Pollinators
Flowers are in abundance in Spring
Hawthorn Berries
A vital source of food for birds during the winter months, especially when the ground is frozen and resources are limited
