Bee brick £27.99
The bee brick is an innovative new product which has been designed to provide a manmade nesting site, to support the declining solitary bee population. Whether positioned as a freestanding bee nest in the garden or allotment, or as an integral part of a building, the bee brick provides additional habitats for bees in spaces where they may otherwise have been forced out. Each bee brick contains cavities for solitary bees to lay their eggs. Each cavity is moulded part way into the brick ensuring bees cannot enter the building. Bees lay their eggs inside the holes and seal the entrance with mud or chewed up vegetation. The offspring emerge the following spring and begin the cycle again. The bee bricks and blocks are designed and made by Green and Blue in Cornwall from polished cast concrete. They should be positioned in a warm sunny spot, preferably south facing, with no vegetation in front of the holes, ideally at around 1 metre from the ground. The bee brick won the Soil Association’s 2014 Innovation Award, sponsored by the Duchy Future Farming Programme. The Programme works with farmers and researchers and focuses on low-cost, sustainable solutions that rely on management practices or renewable resources. It aims to boost innovation in organic and other low-input farming while improving productivity and giving environmental benefits. The Programme is delivered by the Soil Association, in partnership with the Organic Research Centre and supported by Waitrose Duchy Organic. 215mm x 105mm x 65mm Bee brick 65mm x 70mm x 105mm Small bee block 105mm x 105mm x 105mm Large bee block

Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ (American Redbud) £79.99
Position: full sun Soil: moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Flowering period: March to April Flower colour: pink Other features: stunning royal purple foliage Hardiness: fully hardy Deep purple, heart-shaped leaves on a spreading, often multi-stemmed tree. In spring, crimson, purple or pink flowers appear on the bare stems but it is the leaves which make this tree so attractive. The colour becomes subdued in summer but it is one of the best coloured-leaved small trees. Like Cercis siliquastrum, it does prefer a warm, south-facing spot. 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. However for large foliage this variety can tolerate hard pruning in early spring once it is established, then apply a balanced general purpose fertiliser. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.
