Work is now underway for the Buttercups’ bog garden. We are adding this to the boat area so it will attract more insects and wildlife. It will be near a bird hide so there should be lots of birds coming to feed here. This was backbreaking work as we had to do a lot of digging. Watch this space to see how it develops.

First we had to peg out the shape of our bog garden. Then we had to dig the turf.

So far we’ve dug down about 10cm, but we need to make the hole much deeper than that.
