Saturday Morning With Jack Tame

Isn’t it just wonderful to suddenly get wind of a perfect idea that makes soooo much sense?   On my departure for Tauranga to do Nature Nerd stuff at the Bay of Plenty Garden and Arts Festival, I received a fabulous email from Laura, who runs the Envirohub Bay of Plenty.   Space for Nature.   This is the picture:   Nature doesn’t just belong in our National Parks, our rural areas and wild, open spaces.    If we use our spades and our plants, we can create a Biodiverse area around our homes as well. In cities and villages, in the centre of towns, all the way to the outskirts of those sterile new subdivisions.   It’s a matter of creating the right kind of habitat which will attract lizards, insects, birds, and magnificent fungi in autumn.   Your garden could become an important corridor of Native species nearby, allowing them to move deeper and further into your “hood”.  Trapping pest species is another way to add to the Biodiversity of your Quarter Acre Paradise. &
