Nasturtiums - A Garden for Wildlife card by Hannah Longmuir

Nasturtiums’ is a wonderfully colourful drawing all about the benefits of having a these cheerful flowers in your garden. It features variegated nasturtium flowers in glorious oranges, reds and yellows, as well as their big flat green leaves. There’s a cabbage white butterfly nearby, and the caterpillars are feasting on the leaves. Nasturtiums reward you in many ways: bold colour through late summer and early autumn; edible petals, leaves and seeds; and so easy to grow. They repel pests that attack cucumbers and squashes. Bees love brightly coloured nasturtiums, and they provide nectar for long-tongued bees.
