I am a little in love with these Woodstock Chimes Of Earth wind chimes. I first saw them in a shop on holiday years ago and just loved the way they looked and the way they sounded. I love the bronze colour, it is very warm and natural. The chimes have a really beautiful satisfying warm melodious sound. It feels soothing and calming to me.   These chimes are hand-tuned to a universal five-note scale. In the wind or a gentle breeze, you will hear random patterns of amazing sounds.  If you click through Woodstock Chimes of  Earth  you can listen to the video of them playing in the wind. Soft, gentle, substantial and beautiful sounds... I know some wind chimes are annoying. I have heard those rattly, high pitched screaming wind chimes that grate and annoy. I would never have those in the garden. They would annoy me and the wildlife.  These Woodstock Chimes Of Earth however are totally in a different class. The wildlife do not appear to be worried by them ...

If you are wanting to buy a gift for a gardening beginner or are a new gardener yourself this 9 piece gardening tools set with a mat is a wonderful and very useful present.  We all need a variety of good garden tools. We can have an established garden that needs ongoing care, or we may have just moved into a newbuild garden with nothing in it, or have moved into an older property with its own garden that is well tended or neglected, packed full or empty. Which ever way there is a need to tend it well if we want it to look beautiful and be welcoming for nature, and wildlife.   It may be that your grown child has moved into a new home and they now need to do their own gardening or want to get into beautifying their outdoor space or develop an interest in attracting bees and butterflies to their new garden. It could be a new hobby or interest for someone newly retired. Maybe you have a new found interest in nature, wildlife and gardening or know someone who does....

I like to have several pairs of gardening gloves for different uses around the garden. I do like the feel of warm earth and plants, but I do have quite sensitive delicate skin so I need to be sensible.  Gloves keep my hands clean and reduce the risk of cuts and abrasions and any risk of coming into contact with allergic reactions from some plants. In the colder months, they go some way to keeping my hands a bit warmer. This is even more relevant when talking about working in or clearing wildlife or indeed any other type of pond.  Some gardeners prefer to garden without gloves and I understand that. Personally, I need gloves and especially for those really messy jobs like clearing the pond.  These Briers Drain & Pond Cleaning Outdoor Gardening Gloves   are great for that as they are arm length so no water seeping in over the top. They are also elasticated at the top for extra protection and are of course waterproof. They are one size but I imagine will fit...

To a gardener the gift of seeds is a special one. Now that Christmas and New year are over my thoughts always turn to when can I get back in the garden and buying and growing seeds is an important part of that hope.  I love how when I buy or receive seeds there is the promise of lovely flowers and tasty vegetables. I love that I get to plant them as tiny seeds, tend them and watch them grow step by step into wonderful plants. I enjoy the whole process.  It is no quick fix, but eternally satisfying and gives a sense of pride and joy to know you grew your own plants from seed.  So when I came across this amazing pack of vegetable seeds I had to tell you about it. In 15,000 Non GMO Heirloom Vegetable Seeds Survival Garden 32 Variety Pack by Open Seed Vault  t here are 32 different vegetable seed types which are non-hybrid and non-GMO which will be important to many people.  There really is nothing like raising your own veg, picking it fresh from the garden ...

I love birds and while many people feed birds I have noticed that a lot less have a bird bath in the garden to help them. In many ways a Birdbath is probably more important, or certainly as important as putting out food.  Birds need to drink and in hot weather a bird bath can be a lifesaver. when they have chicks to feed and eggs ti incubate having a clean , fresh source of water nearby saves a lot of hassle for our birds! Birds need to bathe. They need to keep their feathers clean and fresh and I have often seen birds in our birdbath just sitting in it resting keeping nice and cool, so essential on hot muggy summer days.  In winter also water is important and again safe clean water that is not frozen over and this can be your birdbath. You just need to make sure that you empty it out and refill with fresh water daily or couple times a week as you can and to keep it clean. For anyone who loves birds and their garden and likes to garden with wildlife I think a bird...
