Chapelwood Hedgehog House

Chapelwood Hedgehog House £44.99
Provide a safe retreat for hedgehogs with this Chapelwood FSC Wooden Hedgehog House. The entrance is just large enough to allow your prickly friends in but prevent predatory animals gaining access. Encouraging hedgehogs to live in this house can be an effective form of pest control as a single hedgehog can keep an average garden free of pests by eating up to 200 grams of insects each night. Placing a hedgehog house in your garden provides a long-term safe habitat for a hedgehog – encouraging hibernation and nesting.Made from strong and durable FSC wood this Hedgehog House features a maze interior offering secure areas to hibernate shelter and feed. Other animals will inevitably smell any food inside and this house is solid enough to ensure they cannot get in. It is a well-designed comfortable hedgehog habitat will ensure that they are safe and secure during the lengthy hibernation process.The hinged roof can be opened to enable cleaning or observation and there is a vent hole at the back that offers additional fresh air circulation which can be particularly beneficial during the hibernation period. FSC approved wood. Non-toxic paint. It is advisable to weatherproof the wood before use. Do not use slug pellets as these are poisonous to hedgehogs. Ensure your garden has entry/exit routes for hedgehogs to come and go. Dimensions: approx. L46 x W36 x H30cmUseful Tips:1. Position the house in a quiet part of your garden preferably against a bank wall or fence. If possible add some cover such as leaves and short grass around the house. 2. Place a few handsful of short dry grass and leaves inside the box to start a nest. 3. Make sure the entrance to the house does not face North or North East therefore avoiding cold winter winds. 4. If you have a female hedgehog visitor be aware she may have her young in it in the spring. 5. After winter use late March

Cercis siliquastrum (Judas tree)

Cercis siliquastrum (Judas tree) £89.99
Position: full sun Soil: moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Flowering period: March to April Flower colour: pink Other features: ideal for a warm, Mediterranean garden or on a south-facing bank Hardiness: fully hardy A lovely spreading tree that is often seen with multiple stems. Glaucous heart-shaped leaves appear after the flowers and turn pale yellow and brown in autumn. It is a lovely small tree for a warm, south-facing spot as it needs the heat to ripen the new shoots each summer to flower well the following spring. The pink blooms appear well before the leaves, and after a particularly warm summer, can cover the entire tree from the shoot tips to right down the trunk. Garden care: Plant in their final location when young as they resent being transplanted. Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly Goes well with: Kolkwitzia amabilis ‘Pink Cloud’, Ceanothus x delileanus ‘Topaze’, Lavatera ‘Barnsley’, Verbena bonariensis, Perovskia ‘Blue Spire’, Ruta graveolens, Dianthus caryophyllus, Stachys officinalis
