We’re very lucky in Limpsfield to have some great little spaces where local groups and landowners are doing their best to promote Biodiversity in green spaces – including Padbrook Pond, Moat Pond, the Glebe and Brook Fields, Eden Brook (down by the bridge on Blueouse Lane – Titsey Road end), Ridlands Grove, Pebble Hill wildflower meadow, the Community Orchard at Grub Street and the Chart Orchard on Stoneleigh Road, amongst others.

Now we have another one to add to the list at Detillens Corner.

This fab little spot on the corner of Detillens Lane and Limpsfield High Street has always been a feature of Limpsfield in Bloom (LIB), lovingly tended to by the residents of Detillens Cottages and the LIB team. It is owned by The Limpsfield Club who have generously allowed permissive access to the Limpsfield in Bloomers and cottage residents who pot, plant and compost there, ensuring there is an annual display of beautiful plants and flowers for all to enjoy.

Working alongside The Limpsfield Club, the National Trust ranger and Limpsfield Parish Council, the local keepers of this corner are ramping up their efforts to help biodiversity thrive and share their ideas with the local community.

They hope this will provide inspiration and ideas for local residents and businesses to adopt in their own gardens and small spaces, all of which will help to contribute to Nature Corridors through the Limpsfield parish and beyond.

Nature Corridors can act as bridges to connect habitats and allow wildlife to travel in search of food and breeding opportunities. They help wildlife move through the landscape, dispersing pollen and seeds, and can act as stepping stones for migratory birds.

Each month, we will make suggestions for what you can do to encourage nature to thrive in your own spaces, whether that’s a garden, patio, balcony, terrace, courtyard or any other outdoor space.

Just follow the QR code at the corner, and keep your eyes peeled to this website’s blog posts and @limpsfieldsurrey on Facebook / Instagram, where there will be helpful links to more information and ideas, and the opportunity for you to share your thoughts and successes. We’d love to hear from you…

Thank you,

The keepers of Biodiversity Corner xx
