How to create the perfect bee-friendly garden

What's a garden without being able to sit in the sun, admiring the busy, buzzing bees going from flower to flower collecting nectar? It's something we can all say we desire to see...and it's possible in everyone's garden, no matter what!

There's one specific way to attract bees, and that is buying the correct wildlife friendly plants. Though this sounds simple, often people are unaware of which plants bees absolutely love- they tend to just go for what looks nice, and hope for the best. 

That being said, one of the biggest challenges for bees nowadays is not having enough food- so creating your garden out of wildlife friendly plants is the perfect way to give them what they need.

Here are our top favourites for attracting bees (and other wildlife, too)…
