Local children celebrate in the woods A group of lucky children enjoyed an unforgettable Birthday Party at Moors Valley Country Park near Ringwood on Saturday 26 March. The Party was held to celebrate the anniversary of the first ever Ranger led Birthday Party at the Park.

These parties offer children of all ages a unique opportunity to celebrate their birthday outdoors. Altogether Moors Valley offers a choice of eight differently themed birthday experiences that range from bug hunting as a nature detective and building your own campfire and shelter to cycling adventures and expert fishing tuition.

All the children who took part on the day were invited to the party after winning their tickets in a competition and four different parties took place around the Park. Ben, Sam and Tom Matthews from Bournemouth took part in the Build it Party, which involved building their very own ladybird box, bird box or bird table to benefit the wildlife in their garden. Ben

BD April 2011 page 6

and his brothers enjoyed making their own bug box while learning how to saw and hammer under the supervision of the Moors Valley Rangers. Ben said, “It’s Dad’s birthday today too, so it’s a double celebration!”

The Birthday Party was really one to remember and in addition to this packed day the children also enjoyed a ride on the Moors Valley Steam Railway and had the chance to leave their mark by signing Moors Valley’s giant Birthday Card.

Birthday Parties at Moors Valley offer children a fun and exciting way to learn about the natural environment and the wildlife which lives there. The children actively experience and explore the outdoors for themselves, making for a truly memorable adventure!

You can organise your children’s Birthday Party at Moors Valley Country Park by contacting the Education Rangers on 01425 470721.

Talking about wildlife with

Wildlife in your Garden Gardens are of great importance for local wildlife, providing food, shelter and nesting sites. Even the smallest garden can be made into a wildlife haven with a few simple measures. You will also benefit by having the pleasure of observing wildlife right from your doorstep.

A mixture of native and non-native plants flowering at different times of the year will ensure food, nectar and pollen for birds and insects throughout the seasons.

Primrose, heather and honeysuckle are good nectar plants; ivy and other climbing plants against bare walls give extra food and protection. A water feature such as a pond, even a small one, is a major attraction for birds, amphibians and dragonflies.

By creating a pile of leaves or dead wood you’ll provide cold season shelter for hedgehogs, insects and toads. Attract birds to your garden by having a bird feeder, birdbath or a nestbox, making sure to keep your cat away from these. A compost bin will provide you with soil conditioner and make a home for many invertebrates.

Ladybirds consume thousands of aphids in their lifetime, and hedgehogs and birds snack on slugs, helping to keep a natural balance.

A wildlife garden does need basic maintenance such as regular pruning but it is also beneficial to leave some areas undisturbed with the grass uncut, thus creating extra wildlife habitat.

Niina Silvennoinen Dor se t Wild lif e Tr us t’ s Wil dlif e Friendly Garden Competition has categories for all types and sizes of garden this year – closing date 9th May. For wildlife gardening ideas or to enter the com petition, visit www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/wgc or ring 01305 264620.

Most gardeners prefer their gardens pest-free, but it is best to rely on natural predators and organic pest control, as pesticides can harm or even kill the species you want to attract.

Apri l’s Gardening T ips From Paul Chatfield of Chatfield’s Garden & Property Services Trees and Shrubs Any trees and shrubs should be planted now this is your last chance if you want the plants to establish strong and healthy root growth.

Climbers and Wall-Plants Get any new plants in now, water them well and apply a good mulch to them around the stem. Clip back any scruffy Ivy now.

Roses Finish any Spring pruning now. It’s too late to plant Roses from open ground now, but there is still chance for container grown ones.

Borders and Beds Hardy annuals of all kinds my be sown, if not already dealt with. With the soil now warming up I would suggest covering them with clear PVC. Bulbs and Corms Gladiolus corms may be planted in batches during the month to provide a succession of flowers both for garden display and cuttings. Remove faded flowers.

Rock Gardens and pools Weed while seedlings are small, replace dead and dying plants and make sure stone chippings are under the crowns.

When weather becomes warmer plant pond plants.

Fruit Newly planted fruit trees should be given mulch of compost to conserve moisture.

Continue spraying but not when flowers are open.

Vegetables Many crops can be sown now in the open Artichokes, Asparagus, Beetroot, Radishes, Parsley, Spinach. Undercover:Aubergines, Celery, Cucumbers, Marrows, Sweet corn, Peppers and Tomatoes. Hoe and hand weed.

Greenhouse and Frame On sunny days greenhouse plants will need more air and water. Shade the young plants from direct sun and start feeding the established ones.

House Plants Increased watering will now be needed, remove dust and dead leaves, many plants can now be propagated by leaf and stem cuttings.

Award-winning schoolgirls tame dragon GIRLS from a Bournemouth secondary have helped a notorious dragon launch a national search to find fresh talent like them.

Pupils from Avonbourne School were chosen to assist Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Peter Jones who is leading a £400,000 in itiative to unleash an entrepreneurial spark in UK schoolchildren.

Called the ‘Tenner Tycoon’ the Bournemouth girls were last year’s national winners for their inspiring community project Internet Rangers, which helps OAPs become online savvy.

The Avonbourne project saw the girls tutor elderly residents in internet skills such as using email, booking train tickets and researching hobbies online.

Former Blue Peter presenter Valerie Singleton OBE visited the school to support the project; the girls won awards for the scheme including one from BT, and were invited to Number 10 and the Houses of Parliament to tell ministers about their work.

They have also appeared in national newspapers including the Telegraph and Times.

“This scheme is a superb opportunity for students to experience what the life of an entrepreneur can be like,” said Kathryn Loughnan, Avonbourne’s head of ICT and Internet Rangers’ mentor.

“With a little risk, some creativity and a can-do attitude they might find they have launched a whole new business concept.”

This year’s Tenner Tycoon will see more than 40,000 young people across the UK encouraged to start their own business using a £10 note.

Organisers Enterprise UK, an enterprise campaign agency, says the aim is to inspire entrepreneurship in young people against a backdrop of “the worst youth unemployment figures in a generation”.

Pupils from Avonbourne School helping Dragon’s Den’s Peter Jones unleash an entrepreneurial spark in UK schoolchildren

They have also been the subject of TV documentaries and their latest foray into the media spotlight to launch this year’s Tenner Tycoon saw them take part in a photo shoot at famous Worx studio in London as well as feature on BBC News and GMT.

Driftwoodgnome

Each creation I make is unique; as is each piece of wood!

Created by Barbara Becker

I am an avid fan of recycling and use recycled items such as fabrics, wool and wellies. So driftwoodgnome is also eco friendly!

In 1995 living in Devon, a friend encouraged me to make something from all the lovely pieces of driftwood I had found from the beach.

I started making Driftwood Mirrors. By 2001 I’d been inspired to create Driftwoodfolk. Now in 2011 I have a new creation – driftwoodgnome.

29

I hope you like driftwoodgnome and it gives you a smile!

I live in the Brecon Beacons which are beautiful but my love of the sea keeps me going to the coast.

In recent years; I have collected from the beaches on the west coast of Wales.

When I find pieces of driftwood; they feel to me; like bits of treasure!
