What’s Blooming in June?
This is one of the most spectacular months in a wildflower garden. Many of our native species are in full swing — here’s a few favourites to look for:
Cornflowers: Their rich, electric blue petals are magnets for pollinators.
Poppies: Both delicate red field poppies and blousy o***m poppies bring a burst of colour.
Corn Marigold: Often mistaken for mini sunflowers, they’re loved by hoverflies and bees alike.
Foxglove: Found in more shaded areas, these thrive in semi-wild patches.

Whether you’ve scattered a Seedball mix or nurtured specific species, June is the month to pause and admire your work — the garden is giving back.

📚 SUNDAY BOOK REVIEW 📚
This week we're reading Endless Forms: The Secret World of Wasps by Seirian Sumner.
Let's be honest. Wasps don't have the best reputation!
While bees are celebrated and butterflies are loved, wasps are usually swatted away without a second thought. But this fascinating book challenges everything we think we know about one of nature's most misunderstood insects.
Drawing on more than two decades of research, Professor Sumner reveals a hidden world of extraordinary diversity, intelligence and ecological importance. From tiny parasitoid wasps that help control pests to social species that build intricate paper nests, wasps are among the most successful and influential animals on Earth.
One of the book's greatest strengths is its ability to inspire wonder. By the end, you'll find yourself looking at wasps not as picnic pests, but as vital members of healthy ecosystems.
It's science writing at its best: accessible, engaging and packed with mind-blowing facts that will change the way you see the natural world!
⭐ Seedball Rating: 5/5
Perfect for:
🐝 Fans of insects and pollinators
🔬 Curious nature lovers
📖 Readers who enjoy popular science
🌱 Anyone who likes having their assumptions challenged
Our favourite takeaway?
Nature doesn't need us to love every species equally. But understanding them is often the first step towards protecting them.
Have you read it? And more importantly... has it changed your mind about wasps? 🐝

🌱 SEEDBALL COMMUNITY HEROES 🌱
This week we're giving a shout out to . For more than 15 years, they've been showing what happens when people come together to grow more than food :-)
At Plot 22, community members learn skills, improve wellbeing, share knowledge, connect with nature, and create a thriving space for both people and wildlife. Because rewilding isn't just about landscapes.It's about relationships.
Every pollinator patch, community garden, wildflower border, and shared growing space helps build stronger, healthier communities :-)
Plot 22 reminds us that when we create places where nature can thrive, people often thrive too.
Thank you for everything you do! 💚

Wildlife Gardening - How to help birds
One way to help garden birds is by encouraging insects, do this by allowing part of your garden to go wild, leaving piles of leaf litter and untidy corners or adding log piles.

Grow native wildflowers and allow them to set seed, for birds to feed on in autumn. Aphids, spiders and caterpillars are all important food for garden birds.

Add water in a bird bath for birds to bathe and drink from. Hang feeders to supplement food and hedges to provide shelter.

The House Sparrow remains on the UK Red List as endangered.

🌱 GOOD NEWS FOR WILDLIFE 🌱
A century after buying its very first nature reserve, Norfolk Wildlife Trust has just secured 336 acres of land to create a brand-new wildlife haven.
Thanks to a £4.6 million investment, fields that were once intensively farmed will be transformed into a rich mosaic of ponds, wildflower grasslands, hedgerows, wetlands and trees – creating space for wildlife to recover and thrive.
This isn't just protecting nature, it's restoring it.
It's a powerful reminder that large-scale nature recovery is possible when long-term vision meets action.
Here's to the next 100 years of bringing wildlife back. 🐝🦋🌼

Did you know?
Some ants also play a crucial role in wildflower seed dispersal, collecting and transporting seeds to different locations.

We have heard stories of Seedball wildflowers ending up in a neighbours garden, perhaps it’s not always the squirrels to blame! 🐜 🐜

Seedball co founder Dr Ana Attlee joined Rod
Whiting and John Stirland on the Loving your Garden
podcast :-) here Ana explains how restoring ecosystems through wildflowers attracts various insects, birds, and bats, creating wildlife corridors connecting urban and rural areas to support biodiversity and provide stepping stones for pollinators like bees.
