The invisible pond liner

The pond after 4 years

Want something that will blend into the local environment, looking for all the world as if it has always been there?  Bentonite is a great liner for this.  It is compacted with soil, making it pretty much invisible.

Standard, butyl liners are hard to disguise but there's no such problem with Bentonite.

We were tasked with creating a wildlife-friendly area in a small field on the side of the client’s property.  It's worked really well ....

Is this an otter print?

Could this be an otter print at Hartpury Blackwell End Orchard? We think it is (we mean the animal print to the right, of course we know the thing to the left is a lens cap!).

Park School Eco Garden Update

We've finished our stint at Park Junior School.  Working on their Eco Garden has been an exciting project and given our staff an opportunity to let their imaginations' go.  The pictures show the types of things that have been developed including stone crop, story telling circles and viewing areas.

Planting and sowing of fruit bushes, nectar rich plants and wildflowers over the coming months will complete the transformation of a dull corner of a field into something of an oasis for wildlife which will enrich the nature studies for the children.
                                                     

End of the willow season

The willow season has come to an end again this year.  It has been rather later than in previous years as the weather has been so cold.  However, a few sunny days and the willow has sprung into life, with catkins, leaves and roots very much in evidence.
