Feeling happy that I'm a lazy gardener leaving dandelions seeding around the garden, as I spotted this handsome bullfinch and his friends hopping about eating them. #gardening #nature

The COVID-19 pandemic offered new insights around the impact of the built environment on mental health, with the prevalence of the car in our cities and lives severely limiting our ability to create restorative spaces. Here are three takeaways for planners wanting to promote better mental health...🧵

Had such a lovely time reading this little book - A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers. If you need to feel hopeful about humanity I would thoroughly recommend it! Any recommendations for what to read next? #Booksky #Solarpunk #Hopepunk

The chickens are enjoying being back on grass after a winter stuck on mulch. Their pen gets moved every day onto fresh grass. 🌱🐔 #gardening #chickens

I just love finding flowers growing in cracks in the pavement - muscari/grape hyacinth found in Bathgate, Scotland 🌱💐 #gardening #flowers #wildflowers

I read that daffodils are beneficial to fruit trees in grasslands, they help to repel rabbits and suppress the grass next to the trunk, so I underplanted some last autumn and they are up! They'll look good in a few years time... #gardening #permaculture #orchard #daffoldils #springtime

My little effort for #wildflowerhour is this mighty lawn dandelion, unfurling showing off its #sepals

Happy #caturday
Allora the maine coon enjoying the start of spring in our garden 🌱🌞😺

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead."
