Bees houses

   Bees are some of the coolest insects around and it is very important that we help them out as they are not doing too well. I still can not believe that every 3 mouthful we eat is made possible because of the busy bees hard work pollination. something worth remembering, get a bee hive!
Alot of buildings in central London have started to have bee hives on their roof tops and I especially love the stylish mini Fortnum and Mason versions on top of the department store's roof. The brightly coloured ones are located at a bed and breakfast in USA.

Bat houses

 When I was home the last time my mum spoke about getting a bat house because it is really good for the wildlife in her garden, and normally they look quite like a flat mail box, but I found a few quite interesting once that Ill recommend her.

Everybody's garden livingroom

                                                                                
The National Trust have set up green 'living' rooms all around the country to try and get Britain's couch potatoes families (43 hours a week!) outdoors by launching these green sitting rooms. great idea!
