In a leafy city centre residential street lies an almost unsuspecting community Garden, which stands once where there was a bowling club. Meet Bonnymuir Green Community Trust Garden!
30 Days Wild 2022 – Day 1 – Alnwick Poison Garden ☠️
I’m kicking off #30DaysWild 2022 with a bit of a sinister topic – poisons! Or should I say plants with poisonous properties ☠️

Air Drying Clay & Flowers – Day 21 of # 30DaysWild
Day 21 of #30DaysWild was another crafty activity involving air drying clay and foliage. This was something Robin and I tried last year, but sadly as the clay dried it cracked. This time I did a bit more research on materials and technique and I have to say I’m delighted with the results! Although Robin…
Visiting Hazlehead Park – Day 12 of #30DaysWild
Day 12 of #30DaysWild was a trip to Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen. It’s been a while since we have been (not since lockdown) so it was a nice change in scenery. We even managed to get a coffee from a kiosk there too! Not long after we arrived we saw two girls from Robin’s nursery…
Pressing Flowers Using an Iron – Day 10 of #30DaysWild
Day 10 of #30DaysWild saw me pressing some flowers and leaves I had gathered both from the garden and out on a walk. I’ve certainly not done this in a very long time so I turned to Google for some advice, where I found out you could not only press flowers the old fashioned way…
A Trip to Seaton Park, Aberdeen – Day 6 of #30DaysWild
Day 6 of #30DaysWild saw us visit Seaton Park in Aberdeen, a park which offers water, woodland, gardens and parkland! We started up by St Machar Cathedral, a stone’s throw away from University of Aberdeen. Once through the gates we headed to the river. It was a beautiful day and very busy! Trying to keep…
Easy Bird Feeders – Day 4 of #30DaysWild
This activity is quick and simple that it even held the attention of my 3 year old. Having said that, it may have just been the peanut butter. You will have to judge yourself when you see the video 😂🤦 I’ve seen this tutorial all over social media recently and it is the perfect 30…
Planting Sunflowers & Radishes – Day 2 of #30DaysWild
Day 2 of #30dayswild saw us planting up our sunflower and radish seeds we got from our May edition of our Mud & Bloom box. Mud & Bloom are a subscription box that send you nature inspired activities each month. We got our first one from a friend as a gift for Robin’s 3rd birthday….
#30DaysWild 2020 – Here We Come!
Oh it is good to be back! I’ve been away from blogging for too long. What better way to start again than during June, the official 30 Days Wild month! This is the 6th year I have taken part in the challenge! In that time I’ve had a child (Robin now 3) which changed my…
Persley Walled Garden – Day 8 #30dayswild
Day 8 of #30dayswild looks at one of those locations which you drive past frequently and always think “I should go there” and rarely ever do! For me that is Persley Walled Garden in Aberdeen. I’ve been there a few times but not since last year. In fact one outing to Persley Walled Garden was…
