These are a few of my favourite links ... oh, and by the way please don't forget to plant something for the bees and the butterflies ... they need your help!

• Butterfly Conservation Saving butterflies, moths and their habitats. A garden with butterflies flitting from flower to flower is a delight in itself, but a garden popular with butterflies indicates a healthy environment and a wealth of wildlife

• Bumblebee Conservation Trust Saving the sound of summer
  Bumblebees are beautiful, hard working and incredibly important pollinators. The UK had 27 species, but sadly 3 are nationally extinct, and others are seriously threatened. Join today and help us to conserve bumblebees for future generations to enjoy.

• Edible Landscaping offers the ultimate green organic design service, for any garden or public space.

• Otter Farm "Succulent peaches and apricots, olives, pecans and persimmons grow in young orchards alongside the more traditional, forgotten fruit of mulberries, medlars and quinces. Wine grapes ripen in the vineyard. A forest garden and perennial allotment are filled with everything from white cherries to almonds, Chilean guava to creeping Japanese raspberries, and kiwis to loquats. Climbing akebia make silky chocolate pulp, the pineapple guava ripen their succulent flesh, while the Szechuan peppers grow their punchy peppercorns."
