In St Brigids Garden we have made our own hedgehog house, you can see a photo of it over on our Instagram here. If you would like to have one in your garden you can make them from things like old rabbit cages and pots, to just using things like logs and wood, or you can buy one too. For information on looking after hedgehogs and encouraging them to your garden you can look at this article from BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/breathingplaces/hedgehog_home/
Just in time for the long Bank Holiday weekend, we found some videos on YouTube with craft ideas for your garden. We searched hard and we only want to share with you easy things you can do at home, as some of the videos are really hard or they need a lot of different things to make them. We hope you have fun making them!
If you make something please share it with us in the comments below!
We would like to thank everyone for joining us for our spring clean this year on April 1st. Despite the rain we all had a great time (no joke!) and the village looked much tidier after we finished. It was great to involve the community and have many people join us to help improve our village and keep it clean!
We especially cleaned around the recycling bins in the village. It's good that people recycle but also when the bins are full some people still drop their bags off and it can leave a mess. Also not everyone uses the bins for recycling and that's why we need to keep it clean! We were very busy working but we took some photos that we will try upload here, and also on our Instagram page too.
As it's St. Patrick's Day today I thought I would show you some cool ideas I found on the internet to celebrate the day. This craft you can make using reycled items. It's really simple to make, all you need is a toilet roll tube, orange string, black and green paper. You can find this awesome craft on Pinterest.
Here is another idea I thought was pretty cool. All you need paper plates, paint and scissors. Again this is another craft that is easy to make. It's really quick and easy to make. This also can be found on Pinterest.
Hope you have fun making these crafts. YTT Blackwater Lifestyle.
