The Daubeney area of Hackney, East London was made glyphosate-free a year ago. In this single street, I counted 62 plant species of 26 families. 75% of British insects feed on a *single* plant family. Just imagine how much wildlife a street like this can support... #MoreThanWeeds

One of my favourite September activities is to sit in the sun near an oak tree, close my eyes & listen for the quiet plick-plock-thump of acorns pinballing between branches before falling to the ground. It might not sound like much, but that sound is just utterly wonderful ☺️
