“I have been wanting a bumblebee house for ages and the one from Green Gardener is brilliant. Well designed and frost proof it arrived really promptly and can’t wait for Spring. I have also ordered ladybirds with a barn in the past and was thrilled to watch the larvae develop. I hope more people visit and use their website as nature needs everyone to be involved.”
