Create an additional, living barrier that will soften the hard appearance of manmade security barriers, such as palisade fencing, prison-like electric fencing, razor wire and stark, high walls. This can be achieved by planting a living ‘Eco-fence’ of indigenous thorny plants that will beautify and soften our surroundings, create habitat for wildlife and simultaneously enhance our security.

[Title] Building a Bee Friendly Garden in Suburbia

Many towns and cities across the globe already recognise the importance and advantages of planting forage plants for bees and other pollinators.

[Title] Butterfly Host Plants For Gauteng

Butterflies have very specific plants (host plants) that they will lay their eggs on, and this differs from species to species.
