I'll try again to put a picture if the bug hotel. I found an old kitchen shelf free standing and went from there since my mother's day present was a cute gnome that lights the way with solar power at night and two little rockery plants. The rest is. asyou all have , toilet roll holders, card, egg boxes ( with Windows as a joke etc.
This is mine with its roof garden of assorted sedums to attract pollinators. The bits on the side are from a collapsed obelisk and were for a campsis but it was clobbered by frosts and one of the supports has now been clobbered by gales.
Friends bring me pine cones form their gardens or walks in the Ardennes and I cut up bamboo canes and other hollow stems to renew the accommodation each spring. It tends to get a bit messed up by wind, birds and hedgehogs burrowing for winter shelter.
The gravel mulch on the roof garden includes some upturned mussel and clam shells so they catch rainwater for insects to drink.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
