Last Tuesday, I stumbled across 30 Days Wild in a Facebook group I’m in. It’s a fun challenge set by The Wildlife Trusts to take part in ‘one random act of wildness’ each day. I immediately set about planning some activities for us for the month ahead! When I told Autumn about it, she seemed excited too. I’m hoping that this will help her to learn about and appreciate the natural world more and for us both to feel more connected to nature. Too often we’re rushing around busily and just don’t notice things. Here’s how our first week went.

Collaborative Post¦ A garden room is a beautiful outbuilding situated in your garden, with glazing on the side letting lots of light in. They’re a perfect addition to your garden and are a good way to create more usable indoor space. It can be a much more practical and affordable option than having an extension! The potential uses are endless. Let’s take a look at 10 reasons why you should consider getting one:
Back to the Garden: Growing fruit & veg in lockdown
Collaborative Post¦ You may have seen a couple of months ago that I’ve been working on a campaign called Back to the Garden with Sudocrem during lockdown. Of course, many children have been out of school for weeks and that continues to be the case for many (including my daughter, Autumn). Back to the Garden encourages children to get out there (or stay indoors) planting seeds and growing various vegetables and plants. Not only is it a brilliant way to occupy them, it is educational. Both myself and Sudocrem previously ran competitions where you could be in with the chance to win a gardening kit. Unfortunately, these are now both closed. However, there are still lots of great ideas and a colouring print out over at Sudocrem’s website: https://www.sudocrem.co.uk/back-to-garden/
