Wow so jealous it's totally fab. I'm still thinking of doing one for the lotty this winter I will have to take note of your instructions. I'm sure it won't be a five star job like yours.
Green roof is great.

That is a GREAT idea -- I bet I can get the kids to help me work on something along those lines. We already help the toads, birds, butterflies, caterpillars, and so on -- why not the bugs?!

Congratulations on the guest post Dawn. I've been meaning to do a wildlife stack after seeing the giant one at Chelsea!

Thanks Rhiannon - I just hope the green roof survives but it's looking OK so far - I'll let you know if the plan should be tweaked as I see how our one does!
Meredith - I've just seen your impressive display of birdlife visitors. Might have to steal the lace socks!
VP - thanks! To be honest I would probably still be at the 'meaning to' stage if I didn't have to think of something to blog about!

I was directed here from citydiggitys blog. I have an allotment and may try some of your ideas to get my daughter a bit more interested. I hope it makes it a bit more fun for her.

Its very considerate of you, building a hotel just for insects. Seriously though insects are part of our everyday life and should also be looked after.

Just imagine nature without insects. They play a major part in the cycle where they belong.

The green roof looks just brilliant. Keep up the good work.
