This week is National Nest Box Week when we are being encouraged to put up more nest boxes to assist our feathered friends in the coming breeding season.
These boxes yardz saw at The Wapping Project in east London this week. This may be an art instillation but I'm sure there must be some takers for this novel bird housing estate!

Artificial topiary balls have become the low maintenance alternative to hanging baskets. Initially they were quite expensive but in the last couple of years there have been cheaper models becoming available. These have mainly been box, grass or cypress balls but this year Botanica have launched heather and floral topiary balls.
They are UV stabilised, easy to put together and make a great statement. They are available in two sizes, 30 cm and 40cm diameter and cost £19.99 and £39.99
