    Plant Selection

Hosted by Catherine Bond and Mary Pring. Catherine Bond has been growing plants for pollinators at her nursery CB Plants and gardening at Lower Severalls since 2015. A lifelong nature lover, Catherine previously worked as an assistant horticulturist at nearby Barrington Court.

Collectively, the gardens amount to more space than all the nature reserves put together. By choosing the right plants in the gardens and creating year-round habitats they can help support bees, butterflies, moths and other pollinators.

In the morning, there will be a walk around the nursery and garden at Lower Severalls Farmhouse looking at​:
  • Larvae food plants
  • Habitats and overwintering
  • Nectar rich plants to encourage and support pollinators in the spring
You'll then get to enjoy a delicious homemade lunch in the garden or conservatory.
