A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 mins between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝

Here’s a reminder that our streets need to be urgently redesigned with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) to help mitigate against extreme weather conditions and associated flooding.

Gr8 to speak at the ‘Climate Resilience Streets’ Conf. yesterday on some of the @wfcouncil initiatives to address surface water flooding eg #SUDS #Raingardens #Wetlands #WaterButts etc. Amazed & humbled at how many other presentations mentioned our #MiniHolland #LTN work!

Rain gardens with native plants that support the lifecycles of coevolved insects would be even better. Native plants are both drought and flood tolerant and many also are very effective carbon sinks. Look at the depth of the roots! @Haggewoods link for insects/plants please?

Just one of many newly planted rain gardens along Harrow Rd.
Thanks to @wfcouncil, for installing these, and to @HARRA for helping to plant them with @MeristemDesign
And what a joy to stand and watch cars slowing down to cross the newly built raised pedestrian crossing!

London Flood Awareness Week starts today 💧
Sustainable Drainage Systems (#SuDS) slow the flow of rainwater into drains, managing water where it lands so it doesn't overwhelm the sewer system 🌧️
