Spring has finally sprung! Grape hyacinths and primroses are helping to feed bees and other pollinators and borders are springing to life with nectar-rich plants and flowers.
It’s the perfect time to get back into the garden and start getting ready for the summer months ahead. As the soil starts to warm up all sorts of wildlife-friendly plants can be added to the garden to encourage pollinator insects – especially bees. With 25 species of bumblebees and more than 250 species of solitary bees, many can be tempted into your garden if you choose plants carefully.
A popular cherry that is great for small gardens for both flowers and fruits, is Prunus avium 'Regina' – producing clouds of pure-white blossom in spring, followed by large dessert cherries with superb flavour in summer. The black cherry plum, Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra' is a beautiful, rounded tree and one of the first cherries to bloom in spring.
