"Across the UK, over half a million people took part in Big Garden Birdwatch 2023, counting a whopping 9.1 million birds! House Sparrows took the top spot, but counts of these chirpy birds are down by 57% compared to the first Birdwatch in 1979. In fact, we’ve lost 38 million birds from UK skies in the last 60 years. With birds facing so many challenges, it’s more important than ever to get involved in the Birdwatch. Every bird you do – or don’t – count will give us a valuable insight into how garden birds are faring." - https://lnkd.in/egnqCKpu #homesittersltd #homesitters #homesitter #RSPB #BigGardenBirdWatch #GardebBirds #Garden #Birds

What a great feature these log walls are! Providing habitat for overwintering invertebrates, an appealing pattern, a garden feature and a low CO2 footprint option when there's unavoidable tree removal as part of a project.
Professor of Planting Design, Vegetation Technology & Urban Horticulture, University of Sheffield
Log walls in the garden this weekend. There are many others that rise up behind, but by this time of the year they are submerged amongst the planting. The rounded forms are something that emerged and evolved over the past 10 years, and in the winter, after all the plants have been cut back, they really come to the fore as permanent structure amongst the naturalistic planting. Of course, they are also habitats and ecosystems in themselves - mushrooms and toadstools in the autumn, full of invertebrates, and mice and shrews nesting amongst them, and wrens constantly flicking around. #gardendesign #wildlifegarden #ecogarden

Our second new 2024 plant is the CRYSTAL FROST™ Arizona cypress (Hesperocyparis arizonica 'Fandango'). This is a resilient tree that can handle extreme temperatures and drought. This native tree was selected from a higher elevation along the Arizona/New Mexico border. It’s extremely heat and drought-tolerant and it can handle winter temperatures down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit (zone 5a). This cypress offers excellent habitat (like shelter and nesting sites) for birds and small wildlife. It’s also beautiful. CRYSTAL FROST™ Arizona cypress has blueish-silver needles—like frost—and an open, feather-like growth. The needles and branching structure resemble an Arborvitae, except CRYSTAL FROST™ is low water and has better winter hardiness. You’ll also see the interesting textured bark of a cypress. This regionally native conifer would be an awesome tree for brightening up a corner of a yard, as a focal point, or as an elegant privacy screen. Moderately deer resistant. Full sun. Well-drained sandy or loam soil. Xeric once established. 8-15′ wide, 18-25′ tall. Zones 5-9. We will pick up on Tuesday of next week with information on our remaining 2024 plant releases!
