An #organisation is perhaps a #garden Can you chase #butterflies and #bees and make them stay wherever you like? Can you have a facade of a garden, get the bees and the butterflies and then capture them in bottles for life? Most likely, no. But if you have a garden, it is immensely possible that both butterflies and bees come on their own. The better the garden, the more! Butterflies may make the garden look more appealing. Bees may help, not only grow your garden, but take the best of your garden to the outside world. But if you have a barren land and/or do not have the inclination to build a garden.... You got to decide.

One of the biggest complaints when spending time outdoors in the garden during summer is noisy neighbours! Last week the BBC broadcast live from RHS Chelsea Flower Show with a few gardening techniques to help tackle the problem: 🌳 Create a good soundproofing wall of greenery between gardens - the more generous the better. Separating your garden makes a big difference. 🌼 Move your garden furniture back against your house wall. This helps to amplify your noise to you - so you can hear over the lawnmower or barking dog next door! 🌱 Lawns can act as a natural sound barrier. Grasses absorb sound and can reduce noise levels by up to 10 dB. 🪴 Rough surfaces absorb sounds - willow work for example, or homegrown soundproofing such as plants including bay, strawberry trees and conifers. These evergreens can help to reduce noise all year round.
