#rewildmystreet #WildMakeoverTip: September
Plant bulbs for spring, when they will provide joy for you and a lifeline for bees. Choose a mix that will flower over a long period, from late winter to late summer. Try native snowdrops, winter aconite, crocus, grape hyacinths, native daffodils, wild tulips and alliums, using wildlife-friendly varieties that give bees access to nectar - bumblebees also prefer white, purple and pink flowers. Plant bulbs in borders, long grass, or pots, where you can create high impact by layering them in a 'bulb lasagne' visible from your windows.
