East Sussex

I live in East Sussex with my partner, Dave, our 3 Springers and flock of chickens. We moved to our current house 6 years ago which has a large garden split into 2 areas, cultivated and wildflower. We avidly encourage wild flowers to grow here as we have 6 different Bee species that visit and most of our planting is primarily to support them. We also have Humming Bird Hawk Moths that visit. Our cottage is over 200 years old and the wildflowers grow quite happily amongst the cultivated plants, including ground elder and marestail which we have now come to accept is here to stay. With so much development occurring, it is nice to be able to retain a large area where nature is able to do what she does best.
