 My two year old urban meadow, creating habitat alongside one of the most congested stretches of main road outside of London I’ve been looking forward to the next couple of weeks all year! As from the June new moon, (two days ago), I have been undertaking a survey of the diversity of plants and insects in my urban meadow. I’m planning on doing this each day for the next one to two weeks, at different times each day, with the aim of taking the effects of weather and light on different species and varieties into account.  There are some amazing digital identification tools available but I’m really enjoying using these books for the survey so far. One of the additional functions of me undertaking the survey is to improve my knowledge of plants and insects in general and for me and my learning style, comprehensive, accessible books win over screens every time.  The meadow is situated between my house and the main road. The “wildlife garden” sign, including the nationally recognised blue heart scheme for rewilding gardens, helps to inform others that the wildness of my garden is an intentional design and not an unloved neglected space!  Once the survey is complete I will of course be writing a blog post about the process and results. If you haven’t done already, sign up to my newsletter where I share my most recent posts.
