New blog from Dr Noeleen Smyth @NBGGlasnevin "What annoyed me most about this packet is that people interested in buying this product really DO want to do something genuine for biodiversity, but are being duped through false marketing." @BioDataCentre pollinators.ie/spreading-seed…

More green = More happiness #MertonGardenStreets @ClimateMerton
