So many #butterflies 💜 They’ve been sunning themselves on the walls and sitting on the window sills. Feel super honoured 🦋😂 #butterfly #nature #butterflybush #buddleia #smalltortoiseshell #redadmiral #peacockbutterfly #garden #insectfriendly #beefriendly #staffordshireartists #folksyseller #sarahbell #sarahdesigns #sarahdesignsuk (at Endon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTCZ5SpDcq0/?utm_medium=tumblr

i gave my mini meadow a good haircut yesterday. it had started to look a bit messy, time to bring out the sickle for a peak-summer trim. this should encourage the low-growing flowers to rise up and... bloom! plenty of time because glancing at the weather forecast, summer in the pnw seems to just have started. . #seattle #pnw #mygarden #wildflowers #wildflowermeadow #plants #planting #plantingdesign #gardendesign #landscapedesign #englishstyle #landscapedesigner #insectfriendly #beefriendly #sustainable #gardening (at Queen Anne, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Oh_KgAmZa/?igshid=12msclsnw2r6p

Walnut branches, pine clippings and other make a good hideouts too. Sure I could shred them, use as mulch or work into the compost but where’s the bug fun in that? / Ořešákové, borovicové a jiné větve z prořezu poslouží jako další dobrý úkryt. Mohli jsme je naštěpkovat do kompostu nebo zpracovat jinak ale to by nebyla ta správná hmyzí sranda #prirodnizahrada #mojezahrada #naturgarten #insectfriendly #bezobratli #space4wildlife #gardentip #nodig #zahrada https://www.instagram.com/p/CPpbINvjRNb/?utm_medium=tumblr

today is #worldwildlifeday and i’m thinking of all the wild creatures, with or without wings, our gardens give food and a home to. . #beefriendly #queenannemeadow #quickstartyouryard #insectfriendly #sustainable #planting #seattle #pnw #seattlegardens #pnwgarden #americangarden #landscapedesigner #gardendesigner #gardencoach #gardentalk #gardenadvice #localbusiness #smallbusiness #womaninbusiness (at Queen Anne, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9St9_ygQu3/?igshid=auhajrrkydxd

to be honest, I’m not sure if this is really a chinese proverb. but it’s the truth, isn’t it? the life you give to plants in your garden, the wildlife those plants give food and a home to. and imagine how your own life may be transformed by taking that first step towards creating a garden. I know my world changed for the better! as my garden grew, it became a greener, more relaxed world. meanwhile I got fitter, (a little) more patient, and a lot more willing to accept that nothing is perfect. . even if you have a busy life, you don’t have to wait till retirement. if you don’t have a green thumb, don’t be discouraged. let me help you start a garden that’s right for you. . have a great week everyone! . #quickstartyouryard #gardenquotes #insectfriendly #sustainable #seattle #pnw #seattlegardens #pnwgarden #americangarden #landscapedesigner #gardendesigner #gardencoach #localbusiness #smallbusiness #womaninbusiness (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89XiuFAG10/?igshid=p6hzer7mew4g
