Spring is on the way, flowers will start to grow, the sun stays a little longer each day and nature flourishes all around us. Some of nature’s most beautiful creatures show us their beautiful patterns and glide through the air, dancing effortlessly as they go about their day.

Butterflies and Bees are show us that nature is close, and without them 90% of wild plants wouldn’t be here. We all love to watch them hop from plant to plant as they work hard. Whilst some people have gardens and others have limited space these ingenious homes can be attached to any shed, post or even an outside wall.

The Kikkerland Little Bee House costs £10 from Trouva is a great way to invite nature’s little pollinators to take off their (yellow) jackets and stay awhile! Cute in any garden or backyard, the Little Bee Home is great for the environment. Give bees a place to call home while they take care of our planet.

The Kikkerland  Little Butterfly House costs £15 from Urban Outfitters is a cute, easy to hang habitat for all our beautiful butterfly buddies. Invite butterflies to rest in a safe space, just for them. A great addition to any outdoor area. It features two vertical slotted ‘doors’ that invite butterflies in and keep them safe from birds and predators.
