EP082- How to create a pollinator heaven in an urban environment with Anne Hutton & Liam Kelly gardeners and beekeepers

In this weeks episode of Master My Garden podcast I talk to Anne Hutton & Liam Kelly in their wonderful garden in Carlow town.  Liam described the garden as pollinator heaven in an urban setting so I said I have to see that. The garden didn't disappoint and just shows what can be achieved even in an urban setting if you want to help and provide for our pollinators. Anne & Liam are both beekeepers and have hives in this urban garden so as you would expect the honey bees were out in force when I visited but what stood out was the amount of other pollinators and wildlife that they have managed to attract. Their gardening ethos or way is to grow food for themselves and the pollinators side by side. So perennial borders and inter planted with herbs, fruit bushes and vegetables all in perfect harmony with no fuss, just natural beauty.  Anne is pro/ secretary and Liam is chairperson  of Carlow Beekeepers Association and their website is https://carlowbeekeepers.com/ you will find all the links for their social channels there. Anne is also pro for Fibka and you can find their website here https://irishbeekeeping.ieAnne & Liam share their knowledge and some new products from their garden here.  https://www.instagram.com/thebeehutt/?hl=enThere will be a blog post on this episode very soon on my website.
