Hello! Hope you are doing ok. In recent times, we are all becoming a lot more environmentally friendly and want to make things last for as long as possible. Whilst scrolling through social media, I stumbled across a post (in fact there were several - I'll link some at the end of this post) that [...]

Charlotte’s Ramblings
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. I know that the lockdown is starting to affect us all, if it hasn't already. I don't have a planned post for you this week. I'm sorry. Although, I have been a busy little bee, organising and planning some exciting posts which I have in the pipeline [...]
Easy Biodegradable Home made Bird Feeder!
Hello everyone. Well the sun is shining today, and I am feeling far more positive than I have on recent days. The garden is just about to explode into life, the birds are singing their hearts out and colour is springing from all corners of the garden, which I am incredibly grateful for. I was [...]
Nature and Mental Health; Bird Therapy by Joe Harkness.
Hello everyone, I hope you are well. I have been putting off writing this particular post for quite some time. It is not because of the book – the book is fabulous, but please read on. I can’t quite put into words why I have been so unmotivated. I don’t know myself. I guess it [...]
Ways to connect to nature in isolation, when you don’t have a garden.
Hello there and welcome back to Foxglove and Bee. In my last post I talked about all the different ways you can connect to nature during lockdown in your garden. However, I realise that not everyone has a garden and finds getting out and about on their daily exercise quite challenging for various reasons. Not [...]

It is full of fabulous specimens and fantastic information for you to soak up! Plus it is free [...]
Wildlife in your Garden under lockdown.
With the lockdown here to stay for a while, one way to escape the news and the feeling of cabin fever is to escape into your garden or to a local park on your allocated exercise. Even daydreaming out of the window; nature provides a great form of escapism. In this post I will be [...]
Nature and Other Things to do under the Corona Virus Cloud.
Corona Virus Confusion. I thought I would pop on here to quickly say hello! I hope you are doing ok and are not too worried over the current situation with COVID-19. Within a week most of our lives have been turned upside down. Personally, practically overnight my job was put at risk, throwing all of [...]
3 Eco-friendly Mother’s Day Gift Ideas under £20.
Reminder! Mother's day is in less than 2 weeks! Don't say I didn't warn you! As with many celebrations, a lot of buying for buying's sake goes on - perhaps even 'panic buying' (don't worry we're all guilty on that charge). Here I help you make a more eco-conscious choice, but that will still bring [...]
Three, no 4, ok 5 films that empower women!
Who doesn't love to snuggle up and watch a good film? But what's better is when once the film is finished, you're not sad, you want to live the film in your own life. Women are not fairly represented in many aspects (let's face it, the majority) of society, so these films, to quote Patsy [...]
