Ever thought about boosting County Durham biodiversity in your garden? It’s easier than you might think to create new habitats for plants that will also be beneficial to many creatures. Here at Chesters Grove, our staff are making it their goal to create at least one new habitat this year. It can take the shape of a pond, a hedge, a compost heap, or a patch of lawn for long grass and meadow flowers. Why not give it a go? Did you know, you’d also be helping the rest of your garden, since a plot filled with biodiversity is less likely to suffer damage from pests and diseases? Nature isn’t always a perfect friend to the gardener – buy preventative controls such as carrot fly netting and slug rings now, not when the pests have struck. We’d love to read some feedback on your efforts.
