2. Plant some bee-friendly plants.
If you don’t have any outside space, could you squeeze in a planter? Get hold of a simple
planter, push it up against the wall of your church and create a mini-garden for bees. Spring
bulbs look lovely too!

3. Put up a bird box
February and early March would be a good time to put up a bird box.

4. Buy British
Or at least European! When you shop for church or yourselves look at where your food iscoming from. Avoid fragile consumables which will have been transported by air. Bananas areokay, you might have to wait a little longer for strawberries.
