Here at the cottage we are making space for the smallest, and arguably most vital, of our wild friends.
Our Bug Hotel attracts all manner of insects from pollinators to detritivores. Whatever their role they are all important members of a healthy and happy garden.
The Bug Hotel was made by one of our volunteers, with materials taken from our old shop fittings.

@northkestevendc declared a #ClimateEmergency last year and here at the cottage we have been #TakingAction. Challenging ourselves to be more ecologically minded and make sustainable decisions.

Sustainable living is an important theme here at the cottage. We look back to the life of Mrs Smith to learn the #practical skills needed to achieve a more #sustainable life. Our work feeds into the @northkestevendc commitment to tackle the #ClimateCrisis.

The #repair of clothing would have been second nature to Mrs Smith, who would rather darn or patch and item than throw away to buy something new. Clothing waste is a major pollutant and by repairing rather than replacing we can reduce our impact on the planet.

Head over to our #facebook page for a darning tutorial created by@jarvisnicki.

A huge thank you to Tom Lane for introducing the landscape and archaeology of Navenby and the Cliffe Villages.

Lovely to spend a Friday evening out in our beautiful gardens. A great start to our summer event series.
