Plant, Plant, Plant!

Spring is here and the sun is out. Don't relax just yet - there's planting to be done!

Find a patch of land and make it your own. The flowers and tress that you plant this spring will mean that our bees, bats, butterflies and birds will get the early start that they need to survive the year.

The first question is where to start? The second is what to plant?

Some great suggestions are:
Tulips, Forget-me-nots, onions, shallots, crocuses, narcissus and lilies.
