Let's create our Jericho Wild Life Haven!

4/13/2020

 
If every garden in Jericho had a little mini-pond, a Bug Hotel, a butterfly flower patch, a hedgehog cafe, sew a poppy patch and many more super-easy little projects for even the tiniest garden or balcony, then we'd turn our community into the most amazing and exciting Jericho Wildlife Haven!

Could you start with a mini-pond?!! Mini-ponds are super-easy, all you need is a small container of any kind and a little corner to put it in!

All these ideas are wonderful projects for adults and children to get involved in, and stop to stare at the amazing little insects beginning to populate it.

If you keep an eye out, you might see one of the most beautiful insects ever - the magical, mysterious dragon fly hovering around your mini-pond!
