As part of our Best Kept Village 2025 efforts, we’re encouraging residents to help create bee and butterfly-friendly habitats throughout Collingham. These vital pollinators are essential to our environment, and by planting bee and butterfly-friendly plants, we can provide them with the resources they need to thrive.
To get you started, we’re offering a free giveaway of bee and butterfly friendly plug plants in April and May 2025. These plants are specially chosen to attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, supporting local biodiversity and adding beauty to your garden. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GROW THEM!
Creating a pollinator-friendly space doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. Simple actions like planting native wildflowers, adding nectar-rich plants, and leaving areas for insects to rest can make a big difference. Whether you have a small garden, a window box, or just a few pots, every little effort helps create a greener Collingham.
How to Get Involved:
- Help us grow the plug plants for our free giveaway OR
- Collect your free plug plants in April or May.
- Plant them in your garden, yard, or window boxes.
- Watch as the bees and butterflies visit!
Together, we can make Collingham a sanctuary for pollinators and a shining example of community-led environmental care.
