Our initiative to encourage #Finchley residents to sow #wildflower mini-#meadows in September and October is going strong. We have over 100 sign-ups and about 17 meadows already prepared. See a few photos to get inspired- we can't wait to see blooms in spring for #pollinators and #biodiversity

A new report about pesticides use was released by PAN network today: issuu.com/pan-uk/docs/... . Check how your council is fairing and if it's still using pesticides, please ask your council to go pesticide-free by using this campaign: pan-uk.eaction.org.uk/pesticide-fr...

#Finchley based volunteers are invited to register to our newest challenge: 60 mini-meadows in 60 days! Sign-up today to receive your FREE #wildflower seeds to sow in a pot, a flower-bed or lawn. Increase #biodiveristy and benefit #pollinators with this simple, easy act. forms.gle/NfoZQxEvV4GH...

Today is #worldbeeday @fao.org. This year's theme, "Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all", highlights the critical roles bees and other pollinators play in agrifood systems and the health of our planet's ecosystems.

#NoMowMay is Plantlife’s annual campaign urging everyone to pack away the lawnmower, let wildflowers grow freely and help nature. Even the smallest wild patch can provide vital food needed by bees and butterflies, and giving nature the best start to summer. @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

We enjoyed facilitating a #pollinator-friendly gardening workshop at a local car-free "Play Street" initiative. The plants were grown by a local agroecological farm GROW and our visitors had varying levels of gardening experience. Nothing like getting mucky and learning new skills!

We welcome Barnet residents to Windermere Avenue N3 Play Street! Plant a pot with #pollinator-friendly plants and take it home - for free! www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1281166677...
