reading this may change your life for better forever

  Say GOODBYE to mowing the grass weekly, dealing with all those dandelions, speedwell, buttercups and daises,LEAVE THEM THERE!

  They look really pretty and the insects will love them too! Leave a little patch uncut and see what grows!

  Let me show you how easy it is to create a fantastic wildife paradise in your own back yard! It's simple and relatively cheap!

I am a wildlife enthusiast...

During my 24 years living in a beautiful old cottage in Lympne, I started keeping honey bees. This led me to plant all the garden with nectar and pollen bearing plants for the bees to forage, which then brought in all kinds of other wildlife into my growing wildlife paradise.

I started organic gardening at that time, and grew many vegetables and fruit, which did very well, as the bees pollinated everything, and nature was in balance. The soil was exceptionally good and full of humous. Watching the pond mature was fun, and we enjoyed many moments seeing what was going on there, and there was LOTS!!! Once you have taken the first step towards encouraging wildlife, you have got the BUG, pardon the pun!

 So, if you would like to consider starting your own wildlife paradise, do consider booking a break here, to get you on the right track.  It will open up a New World for you and you will never look back.

You don't need a huge plot. I had a quarter of an acre before but have a very small patch now, but it still beings in all the little smashers. There are so many ways you can make yours and the local wildlife's lives better, and it takes very little effort to do so.

COME ON - MAKE THE CHANGE and become a wildlife enthusiast! After all, it's the little things in life that are FREE that make you sparkle. And wildlife IS STILL FREE!!!

You don't have to pay for a Red Admiral, Bumble Bee or a Dragonfly to pay you a visit. They come back time and time again to your garden, once you make it a welcome place for them. It would be like having your own wildlife video playing all day from your window.

NEW FOR 2008.

I am keen to offer would-be, wildlife enthusiasts, a mini workshop/holiday break here. There are many local organisations which would be willing to offer assistance with this, and you will learn much about the world of wildlife and how to get the most from your patch.

In the time it has taken you to read this I have watched several bumble bees gathering pollen, birds feeding on hawthorn berries and taking a bath. Hoverflies and dragonflies feasting on nectar bearing flowers. Masonry bees going in and out of the wildlife lodge. Watched AND listened to the lovely quaking grass (which rattles in the wind.) Whilst most of you have been weeding, mowing, strimming and wearing yourself out, when you could have been sipping a glass of wine or a nice cuppa, and watching the wildlife world go by in your new wildife paradise. My own garden awaits your pleasure.. Annette
