Cornwall

<p>Love these bee B&amp;Bs! I created a wildflower measow and love seeing the new growth each year and hearing the buzz as the bees go about their important business. Coincidentally, i am writing this during a break on a course at Eden&#8217;s nursery! Will mention sedums as they are one of the few plants that does well in my exposed garden. Fingers crissed for a Green&amp;Blue home for my bee guests this year!</p>
