Exciting news. After eight wonderful years, Fennel & Fern is rebranding as #wildflowerhour. We have published so many fabulous posts about beautiful gardens, allotments, how to grow vegetables and so much more. But the most successful thing we ever set up was in August 2015, when we started tweeting about #wildflowerhour. We asked the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland to help us promote the idea of flooding the internet with wild flowers between 8 and 9pm on a Sunday night. Initially it was confined to a few enthusiasts, but now wild flowers trend every Sunday, with around 1,000 tweets each night.
The biodiversity of our Isles is under threat. And social media can be a miserable place, full of people shouting at one another. So we have decided to make #wildflowerhour our sole mission from now on. You will always be able to read the Fennel & Fern archive on here. But from now on, it will be wild flowers, wild flowers, wild flowers.
