Dr Jane Bingham has a tip on how to keep your garden looking great all year round! 🌸🌲🌷

Plants evolved fragrant flowers to attract pollinating insects, rewarding them with nectar and the pollen they’ll find within, but we enjoy their wonderful scents too! Research on floral scents has uncovered their benefit to both physical and mental well-being by relieving stress and depression. Scent can also improve memory, focus and health, particularly in combination with other sensory engagement with plants and gardening activities.

🐝 What’s buzzing at The Mains of Drum? 🐝

🐝 Who’s this busy bee? 🐝
... We are delighted to welcome Aberdeen University student Andy Smith to The Mains of Drum Plant Area this summer. He is studying the bees that visit our garden centre and which of our huge variety of plants the bees are making a beeline for. He will write up his findings for his MSc Ecology & Conservation thesis later in the summer. We look forward to sharing the fascinating results of his studies.
