The sensory garden.

This was a completely free build by ourselves at Ladybird-Landscapes for Lenthall Infant and Nursery School

We are currently struggling to afford the purchase of our first home.
Doing our best to keep prices fair within the market.
However we still found time to help the next generation while not being able to help ourselves.

It was fantastic and exhausting donating each weekend and day off until complete. 6 days off since the start of the season and that was mainly due to illness or injury.
Estimated labour donation for completion.... 21k

We hope you can spread the word and show what true creativity can achieve from good willing local people.

Not a 50k set of swings and climbing frame in a desolate space.
But an eye catching collection of areas to fill the whole space.

β€’Wildlife pond with oxegenating plants alongside a variation of attractants to frogs ,birds, bees, dragonflies and more. Petunia, viola, snapdragons, ferns, star moss, dianthus, foxglove, grasses, and soooo many more.

β€’mud kitchen area with soft astro bottom, two attached blackboards with big colour chalks, fun water area that waters plants with play. And an epic aztec tipi surrounded by smelly plants from lavendar ,lillies , lemon balm and rosmary.

β€’ edible section with kiwi berry umberella. Apple trees
Strawberries , blueberries, thornless blackerry and raspberries. Surrounded by attractants such as nasturtiums, lupins calla lillies , poppies lobelia and more.

β€’bug hotel, sensory walk and undercover round table of relaxation.
A variety of collectables showing the requirements of our tiny friends outdoors.
12 sections of different feel squares that lead onto tree stepping stones down into a colourful covered retreat.

β€’ 2 growth arches and arch planter. Sweat peas ,clematis and honeysuckle woven through wire mesh and around wooden lattes to reach 3 multicoloured transparent sheets spreading rainbows on sunny days without the need for rain.
Alonside the entrance arch planter filled with butterfly seeds awaiting their first bloom.

And the big finale/ best attraction chosen by the kids.

β€’fossil sandpit with sliding waterproof lid , sieves and paint brushes to become the next generation of paleontologists.
A truck bed transformed and filled with amenities, belegmites crindoids of all sizes from our personal collection of fossil hunter finds.

Big shout out to everyone who donated.
Some of our loyal customers, im looking at you πŸ‘€

Most people would never kill a ladybug. But most people already have β€” because they didn't recognize her as a child.

The ladybug larva looks nothing like the adult. No red shell. No black dots. She's black, spiky, and shaped like a tiny alligator crawling through your leaves. She looks like something that shouldn't be on your plants.

So you remove her. Or you spray the leaf she's standing on without checking what else is there.

She was eating.

A ladybug larva works through a remarkable number of aphids before she pupates β€” more than the adult eats in the same stretch of time. The larval stage is the hungriest stage. The adult ladybug you protect laid those eggs right next to the aphid colony on purpose. She placed her children exactly where they needed to feed.

The identification takes a second once you know what to look for. A small black body with orange or yellow spots, six legs, spiny texture, found on a leaf near aphids β€” that's a ladybug larva. Not a pest. Not a threat. The future of every ladybug you've ever been glad to see.

🌿 How to protect what's already working for you:

- Before spraying any plant covered in aphids, check the undersides of nearby leaves for small dark larvae with orange markings β€” they may already be solving the problem
- If you see them, leave the plant alone for a week. The larvae will clear the colony faster than most sprays
- The spiky larva, the smooth orange pupa stuck to a leaf, and the familiar red adult are all the same insect at different stages β€” protect all three
- One generation of ladybugs on a single plant can reduce an aphid colony to almost nothing without any input from you

She doesn't wear the red coat yet. She's earning it 🐞
