June 21: Blossom in the Orchard
Posted on 30th June, 2021
The cherry blossom is looking lovely and the good news is that our new saplings
behind the cricket pavilion are growing and have blossom on them too.
Thanks to all of you who contacted us about your bee-attracting plants – we are
still building our beeline so if you haven’t already, please let us know at bloom@thefarleighs.co.uk
Kent’s Plan Bee have published a guide to growing insect-friendly garden which may help with your planting:
- Spring – wallflowers, hawthorn, dandelion, sweet williams, aubretia, lungwort, sweet alyssum, cow parsley
- Summer – borage, fennel, lavender, rosemary, cornflower, honeysuckle, buddleia, poppy, brambles, cosmos, cow parsley, field scabious

Hopefully everyone has been busy planting their sunflowers too ……..
