Our new profile pic for July was from BA (Hons) Art and the
Environment student Claire Jebbitt, which coincided with World Nature Conservation Day on 28th July.
One of
the key things you can do to help increase biodiversity is to fill your garden
with a range of flowering plants. Not only will your garden look wonderful, but
you'll also be providing vital nectar and pollen for essential pollinators.
Here's some useful info from the RHS:

Exploring the landscapes of Croatia
Laura Cohen, who recently completed our BSc (Hons) Landscape
and Garden Design, was able to increase her subject knowledge even on a
well-deserved holiday...
'Fažana, Croatia - This coastline is famous for its
well-maintained pebbled beaches and traditional Istrian hospitality.
The fisherman's village plaza uses implied lines surrounding
the parish church. Reused concrete pipes used as planters sit parallel to the
coastal 'entertainment' walk and cycle path.
Here, various abstract benches dot the journey, one of which
is installed with a seat sensor that plays music or sounds of the ocean when
used. The pebbled beach merges into the grassy landscape inland where olive
groves can be found with the smell of sweet meadow.'

Practical and
beautiful campus
As well as being very pretty, and full of life and vital
pollinators, the Writtle University College campus is an important practical
resource for the students to use.
There are many working plots and glasshouses for a variety
of purposes, including this glasshouse just a stone's throw from the Design
Centre (but we wouldn't recommend throwing any stones of course😄).
