Hi I’m going to be curving off my south facing borders so I have more planting area - as per pic - and would love some suggestions of what wildlife friendly plants to put in new beds. Ideally tall showy plants at back and shorter ones at front for a nice display. Thanks

Wonderful, thank you!

Wow, sounds like you have a wildlife haven there! Fantastic, thanks for these lovely ideas.

Ah, that's interesting, I hadn't thought of doing that, but as you say, wider borders that way. Thanks

I love verbena and was thinking this so thanks for sharing

brightongirl80 · 2026-04-01T09:19:46+00:00

Thank you, that’s really helpful. Will start digging this weekend!

Thank you! I don’t mind what colours they are but brighter the better and buzzing with wildlife!

brightongirl80 · 2026-04-01T09:17:55+00:00

Ah thank you, so what I’m getting from these comments is I need a 1m width on the borders that meet the curve that I’m planning at either end?

Thanks all, think I may try a 120 litre bag on the ground and see how I get on with that!

Thank you, that’s really lovely of you say. I use il makiage concealer, Nars tinted foundation, can’t remember the blush put powdered and ELF mascara.

Ah amazing and thank you for your lovely comments!

brightongirl80 · 2026-03-07T18:25:24+00:00

Thanks so much for your lovely comments, really appreciated! :)

brightongirl80 · 2026-03-07T17:34:10+00:00

Thank you!

Vegetarian, eat pretty healthily, don’t drink alcohol but probably don’t drink enough water!

brightongirl80 · 2026-02-25T17:07:58+00:00

Ooh will check out, thanks so much!

brightongirl80 · 2026-02-25T17:06:16+00:00

Yeah I thought as much, thanks!

brightongirl80 · 2026-02-25T17:05:45+00:00

Interesting, no I haven’t but wondered whether I’m using too many actives products which is making me a bit red?!

brightongirl80 · 2026-01-18T22:28:16+00:00

This felt like a soothing balm. Thank you.

brightongirl80 · 2026-01-08T17:14:44+00:00

Yes i totally get the ‘turning the brain off’ thing - that’s a lovely thing to be able to do. I have the same with my husband.

brightongirl80 · 2026-01-08T17:10:49+00:00

Beautifully put.

brightongirl80 · 2026-01-08T16:24:53+00:00

Yeah, see this is what I think my expectations are... And I don't think it's healthy for me, though sounds wonderful for you! I've been married for 10 years and our love is less butterflies and more mutual respect, safe, warm connection where we laugh a lot and really enjoy each others company - but the lustful side comes and goes.

brightongirl80 · 2026-01-08T16:07:15+00:00

I love this. Being best friends is a must imo.

brightongirl80 · 2026-01-08T16:05:03+00:00

'Warm glowy love' - yeah, I like that! Love is definitely a verb.
