Just to get you in the mood…

I’m a scarecrow, the name’s Mr. Scatters
I wear these shabby rags and tatters
I live ‘round here – over there in a big field
And eat old custard that’s gone congealed
My job’s to scare the gulls and crows
(While farming stuff just grows and grows)
And I scream at those pesky flapping wings
Like I’m keeping safe the fruit and things
But tonight it’s lovely Halloween
With all the ghosties and witches mean
When I come to life to party
With mushy peas to make me hearty

Set in peaceful Northumbrian countryside

LONGFRAMLINGTON GARDENS
GARDENS & ARBORETUM : NURSERY & PLANT SALES AREA : GARDEN DESIGN & ADVICE

The Gardens & Arboretum are wildlife friendly by design, with habitats using the gardens varying conditions and microclimates, plant species, low intervention zones, no insecticides or fungicides, and tolerant garden management – all allowing biodiversity to flourish.
With the concept of creating / allowing wildlife corridors, the informal ‘wild’ areas wrap around the whole garden. The plant collection includes both native and ornamental species - ‘Food for the soul’ and interest for the gardens human visitors too!
Throughout, there are opportunities for cover, nesting, and food sources – the latter including seeds, berries, fruits, nectar and vegetation – not to mention the earthworms, insects and small animals that are part of the diet for ie. hedgehogs, swallows and owls.

The main integrated habitats include:
Meadow areas – mixed grasses, wild flora species and specimen trees. Meandering mown grass paths give great visitor viewing and access.
Outgrown hedge – giving cover shelter nesting and food sources.
Bog area – a naturally wet area
Oak trees – the native tree that supports most fauna species.
Plants - At last count, over 160 different ‘wild’ plant species throughout the gardens, including trees, shrubs, perennials, grass, sedge and rushes species.

Many types of birds are seen, and heard – Some visitors use an identification app on their phones! There are many species of insects - butterflies and moths, also dragonflies at the ponds.

Please contact Longframlington Gardens if you would like any further information.
