Don't let April showers dampen your spirits
April showers bringing you down? Fear not! There are plenty of ways to make the most of the rainy weather without breaking the bank.
Bird Baths: Nature's Delight
As summer draws near, consider creating your very own bird bath. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds recommends a wide, shallow dish with rocks and logs for our feathered friends to perch on. Get creative with an upturned dustbin lid or circular tray, propped up on bricks. Add water and let the rain do the rest. Don't forget to include a wooden ramp for hedgehogs to join in the fun!
Plant Power: Harnessing Rainwater
Instead of letting rainwater go to waste, save it for your plants! Rainwater is rich in nutrients that can boost plant growth. Place drip trays under potted plants and strategically position containers around your garden to collect rainwater. Kids can even make their own mini water butt using a plastic milk container. Check with local councils or water companies for deals on water butts to keep your plants happy all year long.
Splash Happy: Rainy Day Art
Inspired by author Hattie Garlick, grab some food dye and embrace the rain for creative activities. Collect rainwater in jars, add dye, and paint with a brush on paper. For a messier option, add dye to a puddle, swirl with a stick, and jump in wearing wellies for a colorful splash masterpiece. Let your imagination run wild!
