  • Living Wall

    The other week we went to the National Wildflower Centre at Liverpool & they had built a 'living wall' to attract bees & other insects & wildlife. From a distance it looked very decorative & close up you could see the very ordinary things they'd used to build it. There was an old computer, lawnmower, old boots & all sorts of components which otherwise may have been thrown away. There was an old bird box fixed to it which was being used by a pair of bluetits who waited until people had moved past & then carried on feeding their brood. Here's some pics., in one you can see the parent going in to feed the chicks.

      I reckon those are pics of the inside of my head

      I want to build one now!
      I was feeling part of the scenery
      I walked right out of the machinery
      My heart going boom boom boom
      "Hey" he said "Grab your things
      I've come to take you home."

              I loved it even though it looked a bit scruffy & would build one if the garden was bigger but I do have a pile of old logs, lost pots & an old broken bird table/bird box under at tree at the bottom of the garden so that sort of provides something similar.

                It looks great and has given me some arty ideas. I might make a wall from scratch like it to border the allotment and maybe it will attract more birds to eat all the slugs that have destroyed my broccoli.
