    Default Native plant finder

    I have a large garden and I enjoy seeing birds, so, it was no surprise to me to learn that to encourage birds into the garden then it is preferable to plant native species of plants.

    Well here is a website from the natural history museum that will find all the plants that are native to a specific area, you just simply enter the postcode for your area, mine being KW14.

    Enjoy!!
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    This is a great link - thanks for posting it.

    Weird thing happened though - when I put in the postcode for Wick - KW1 - the heading says "Wick & the Island of Strone" I've done a search on google & can't find such an island - would it be Stroma do you think?

    They are obviously getting Stroma and Scone mixed up, aww Bless!
