One of our Estates Team was lucky enough to get up close to this little visitor in Sidney Gardens this morning and capture some amazing footage. 🐭🌿 During our volunteer morning. Nature moments like these are always special—what a fantastic start to the day!

Our estates team have been working on a new wildlife-friendly flower bed at St John's Church yard, under the yew tree it has been created to support Somerset's wildlife and pollinators. The bed features long-lasting perennial planting and attractive willow structures made by Able 2 Achieve and Carymoor, with miniature apple trees still to be added. We hope this beautiful space will provide year-round colour and a valuable habitat for local wildlife. We hope you enjoy this new bed as we know it is a change from the norm, but we wanted to create something longer-lasting and sustainable. The other three beds will have their own unique design, offering something different to enjoy. 😊 🌺🌹🪻🌸🌺🌷🌼💐
