🌳 Wise #EarthDay words from our amazing #gardener Travis Mathews: "As a gardener, Earth Day holds profound significance for me. It's not just a day to celebrate our planet's beauty, but a reminder of our responsibility to nurture and protect it. In these sacred grounds, we honor lives lost to AIDS while cultivating a sanctuary of healing and hope. Every plant, every bloom is a testament to resilience and renewal. Let's pledge to cherish and safeguard our precious Earth today and every day. Happy Earth Day!" Learn more about the Grove: https://lnkd.in/gdDRwTG5

Its #wildlifewednesday time once again🐾🌿🙌 With the Butterfly Conservation #bigbutterflycount 2024 currently ongoing, lets look at one of our most common butterflies we have in the UK, and one of my personal favourites 🙂 The Small Tortioseshell🦋 It has an attractive and striking pattern and is one of the first butterflies to be seen in spring and in the autumn it often visits garden flowers in large numbers.🦋🌿 Male small tortoiseshells are very territorial, chasing each other, other butterflies and anything else that appears in their space. They court females by 'drumming' their antennae on the females' hindwings🦋 Even though many butterfly species in the UK have declined, this stunning little butterfly is doing well across rural and urban areas. It certainly has been the most common in my garden this summer alongside the Brimstone and Red Admiral 🦋 Instead of migrating like many butterflies, small tortoiseshell butterflies hibernate in their adult form, often in our houses and sheds. They emerge again in spring to feed on nectar and lay large amounts of green eggs on the underside of nettle leaves which they do right throughout June🌻🌱 Unfortunately due to climate change causing uncertainty in our weather across seasons and loss of habitats, butterflies are declining along with many species of moths and bees🐝 Why not make your Garden more biodiverse and attract small Tortioseshells and other butterflies so they can have somewhere to feed all year round 😁 You can learn more about the Small Tortioseshell and other species of butterflies in the UK below🙂🙌 https://lnkd.in/ewD7iANX #wildlifewednesday #wildlife #nature #butterflies #invertebrates #species #habitats #environment #conservation
