A few they love are #magnolias #euphorbias #acacia #waterlilies Follow our blog to get more daily gardening cartoons, ideas, daily tasks and tips […]
Over the next six months, The Wrigglers pledge to do their bit to support Gardener’s World’s #putpollinatorsfirst campaign by drawing some cartoons (and connecting with them). With 22million gardens in the UK, we can all do our bit – whether that’s planting some wild flower seeds, not using insecticides or making a new insect hotel
