I was just supposed to go to Sønderborg to pick up a bat detector from the Danish Bat Society, and then some supplies from the hardware store.

Then native plants happened. The Danish Society for Nature Conservation has managed to get the supermarket chain Rema1000 to sell native plants every spring and I just happened to drive by. In my defense, I was left unattended😂

The joys of having a wild garden. I've lived here for more than 12 years, and in that time, the garden has gone from trimmed hedges, mowed down grass, and no flowers to an absolute abundance of life.
By my last count, I have observed over 800 species. I do not count most of the plants as they wouldn't be here if I hadn't planted or sown them.
The biggest breakthrough was when I put in a small pond.
Every year, I make small tweaks and improvements, such as adding rotting wood, piles of twigs and branches, stone dikes, clay cobs, and nesting boxes. This year, I think I'll try to clear a small area and mix in some sand to attract more ground-nesting bees and maybe put in another pond if I can find the space for it.

Is there an English equivalent to the Danish VildMedVilje (WildOnPurpose)?
