We couldn't resist getting a photo with a gorgeous corgi sniffing around our special tree all the way from Buckingham Palace!
@thewellderness.cic were awarded the tree for their community work to support people's wellbeing through nature and helping nature through people.
The tree was part of the official jubilee celebrations for the late Queen Elizabeth II outside Buckingham Palace, but now resides in its forever home at Wild Heart Hill.

Oh what a night....
We are incredibly lucky to have the most amazing sunsets here. A bonus we never expected when we moved here.

What a lovely start to the day!
Did you know that robins are seen as symbols of good luck! 🍀
🎶 These gorgeous birds sing all year-round, with females often taking the lead in winter.
🐖 They're loyal companions, following gardeners for a tasty treat. This behavior is thought to be an adaptation from when robins followed wild boars in ancient forests.
🪺Don't forget that they are a protected species and so never disturb them or their nests.

This evening we re-homed a beautiful Victoria plum tree and a cherry tree who needed a new place to live.
A huge thank you to Lilias II of Littlehampton for her kind donation. We hope they flourish in their forever home and we are looking forward to feeding plums and cherries to all our guests!

Check out 'Galium verum' also known as Lady's Bedstraw! 🌼
This pretty yellow flower has an interesting history. People used to stuff their mattresses with it because it smells nice and keeps fleas away.
It's also handy in the kitchen—The flowers were also used to thicken milk in cheese manufacture (which gives the plant its name, from the Greek word γάλα, gala 'milk') and, in Gloucestershire, to colour the cheese double Gloucester

Did you know snowdrops were named after earrings? In the 15th-17th centuries, ladies wore white drop-shaped earrings called 'ear drops'!
They have fascinating folklore behind them, like being a symbol of hope since Adam and Eve's time.
Plus, snowdrops contain natural antifreeze and were even used to de-ice tanks in WWI!

The perfect evening for a toasty campfire. 🔥
Now where did we put the marshmallows?
