Bughingham Palace

In my last allotment blog I had a bit of interest shown in the wild garden on our allotments.
I thought some of you might want an update!
Well last Saturday (30/6) we had our allotment " open day"
and part of the proceedings was to name the " bug hotel" on our wild garden.
There were many interesting suggestions but the one considered the best was " Bughingham Palace" which personally I like very much, particularly in this ‘Jubilee’ year.
As always I was armed with my camera, so here are a few pictures of the event!
Welcome to the plots
The site ‘Notice Board’
(the flowers are netted to stop the rabbits eating them)

The trophies the site won last year, judging for 2012 is tomorrow (4/7)
One trophy is for best site in the 25+plot category, the other trophy is for best site in the entire metropolitan council area (all sizes)
I took pictures of all the plots on the site but didn’t want to bore you too much, so I didn’t bother displaying them in this blog!
Who would want to look at twenty odd allotments? !!

Wonderful blog. Thats a much better way of making a Bug Hotel as broken pallets are often burned or thrown out in skips. Have put on my Favourites list to think about in the winter months.

I really love the bug hotel and especially its name! That spread certainly looked yummy.
