Privet Hawkmoth caterpillar descending an Ash tree to pupate beneath ground. But plastic grass meant it couldn't. Plastic lawns are terrible on every front. Ban them. @irishrainforest.bsky.social @nicwilson.bsky.social @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social @markavery.bsky.social @katebradbury.bsky.social

I'm so pleased to see that One Garden Against the World by @katebradbury.bsky.social has been longlisted for the @wainwrightprize.bsky.social conservation writing prize. 1/3

1. Some people align their morality with the law, and consider breaking it to be immoral, even when the law is oppressive. I point them to my Dutch in-laws, who broke the law by sheltering a Jewish boy, and the Nazi soldiers and Dutch police, whose raids seeking criminals like them upheld the law.🧵

Well that was wonderful. I was inspired, I cried, I got angry at ‘Drone Bastard’ and enjoyed all the local references. Thank you @katebradbury.bsky.social “We can all be weird little gardeners in our pyjamas.”

Five spaces left on the 9.30am Garden Wildlife safari @kneppwilding.bsky.social this Friday - get involved! knepp.co.uk/view/garden-...

Congratulations to @katebradbury.bsky.social #wildlife gardening

Baby seagull has been adventuring this week: can fly down but not up. Spent three days on a neighbour’s garage. Then flew into the road (I managed to catch it and return to my neighbour’s roof. Will prob need to again). Eight weeks old tomorrow. Learn to fly UP baby seagull! 🐣🙈

Treasure!!! @benjyhere.bsky.social @brigitstrawbridge.bsky.social These wool carder bees were hatched as eggs in my bee hotel last year. Fingers crossed they choose to nest with me again! 🤞🏼

I’ve got a poorly bumblebee nest here @davegoulson.bsky.social @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social any ideas?No sign of wax moth. Is the white stuff between the wax pots significant? Not a single bee came to see what I was doing 😭 but there was high-pitched buzzing from within - has the nest lost its queen?

The rewilded walled garden at Knepp is looking fantastic and there is SO much wildlife to be found! Come join me on my next Garden Wildlife safari on 25 July, where we will walk around the garden and learn how to identify the different species that use it. Get involved! knepp.co.uk/view/garden-...

really excited to be sharing a stage with such luminaries as @katebradbury.bsky.social @davegoulson.bsky.social @sophiepavs.bsky.social @charliebingham.bsky.social @marklynas.bsky.social @drmjwarren.bsky.social - I would definitely buy a ticket if I was not already speaking!

This was great fun!

Happy book publication anniversary to me! Wow what a year, and what better way to celebrate than with my People’s Book Prize! Still pinching myself that I won - thank you SO much to all who voted. My prize winner video is up on YouTube, a very happy book anniversary indeed 💚 youtu.be/0CPkDUkxUfU

Even Richard Tice has signed the Early Day Motion to persuade the govt to reconsider not implementing mandatory swift bricks in new builds. This is a no-brainer. Please write to your MP and ask them to sign this EDM: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

A Book A Day Day 4 @katebradbury.bsky.social One Garden Against the World which sums up so much of what #30DaysWild is about. What a big heart can do on a small scale.

Isabella Tree will be at Cuckmere Wildlife Festival on 27 June, along with other nature writers including @davegoulson.bsky.social and @katebradbury.bsky.social 🍃📖 It promises to be a really special event. Book your tickets via this link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cuckmere-w...

Swift action anyone? Email [email protected] simply saying ‘please mandate swift bricks’ with a subject line: MANDATE SWIFT BRICKS. Please encourage everyone to do this. Will take 30 seconds.

SQUEEE! Thank you SO much for voting for ONE Garden Against the World to win the People's Book Prize. We actually did it!!! peoplesbookprize.com/2025-winners/

This may sound grim, but it is a colossal underestimate of the impact of 4C heating Forget 40% poorer - this will leave billions dead and society and economy will have collapsed long before the 4C mark is reached www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🌱 Un #libro che è un mazzo di fiori di campo... ! 🌼 Ho appena finito di leggere “Un giardino per cambiare il mondo” di @katebradbury.bsky.social (#edizioniSonda). Consigliato a chiunque voglia (ri)scoprire quanto possiamo fare, anche con piccoli spazi www.letiziapalmisano.it/un-giardino-...

Kate's books are always full of hope, despite dealing with big tough subjects like the climate. Do go vote for this - or read it if you haven't! If you're into gardening, nature, the environment and you haven't come across her yet - now's your chance! 🌱

Last chance to vote for one Garden Against the World to win the People’s Book Prize! Thanks to all who have voted so far. If you haven’t, it takes two minutes and would be a huge boost for a book on climate and biodiversity. Thanks! peoplesbookprize.com/2024-cat/non...

I just finished listening to this brilliant book!! OMG I am not the only one who goes outside when it rains in drought to make sure no drop is wasted! So of course I have voted for this book!

Just two days left to vote for one Garden Against the World to win the People’s Book Prize! This would be a huge boost for a book about climate and biodiversity, which could potentially reach more readers. Thanks to all who have voted so far! peoplesbookprize.com/2024-cat/non...
