We need to take control of our own gardens and manage them for endangered wildlife. I just want to point out that snowdrops are the first flowers to bloom and are honey-scented because they are pollinated by bees. Perhaps your contest could encourage people to divide and mail out their snowdrop bulbs. You can do it now while they are growing if you carefully dig the clump, separate the plants, wash off the soil, wrap the plant in a damp paper towel, put it in a plastic bag, and mail it. Having flowers in very early spring is so important for bees. Anyone with questions on how to do this should feel free to contact me.Carolyn @ Carolyn's Shade Gardenshttp://carolynsshadegardens.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-13557503273510669682011-02-07T19:46:44.545-05:002011-02-07T19:46:44.545-05:00At the moment, none of my flowers are attracting b...At the moment, none of my flowers are attracting bees. Im making new flower beds to plant some new seeds I bought and given by bloggers maybe could attract them later. I hope zinnia, evening sunflower, marigold, balsam, cosmos will attract bees and butterflies to my small garden. Great idea!p3chandanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103679390426867817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-87592209237974465882011-02-07T16:58:44.953-05:002011-02-07T16:58:44.953-05:00sounds incredibly easy and what a wonderful idea.....sounds incredibly easy and what a wonderful idea...will doDonnahttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-35098678202828525672011-02-07T13:18:08.456-05:002011-02-07T13:18:08.456-05:00Ah, this is a great idea.

We would like to try to find some foxgloves seeds and grow them this coming autumn.
