If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise. It's bluebell season and the UK's woods are looking lovely. Want to help save your local green spaces? Then here's a bit of graffiti knitting to aid you.
The sun is shining and most of us are blearily tottering outdoors. While you're out there why not get green fingered by starting your very own veg garden and laughing in the face of those big bad supermarkets with your own organic range?
Those fine people who know their hot beverages at Cafe Direct have teamed up with Rocket Gardens' Rob Cox shows you how to convert a Stella McCartney handbag into a mini strawberry patch as part of Cafédirect's 'Sow Your Own' campaign.
Cafédirect launched 'Sow Your Own' to inspire even the most garden-starved urbanites to grow their own great-tasting food anywhere and everywhere this summer.
Through their work with small-scale tea, coffee and cocoa farmers, they know better than anyone how you can grow high quality, hand-cultivated crops that taste great in even the tiniest of spaces.
They're going to be helping you transform the most unlikely items into flourishing miniature vegetable patches with the help of a host of green-fingered celebrities and their friends at Rocket Gardens.
The festival essential when you're celebrating music and culture in the UK has to be the welly. You can go posh with Jimmy Choo snakeskin wellies, trendy with Dragon's Den Wedge Wellies or you could go crafty and customise your own.
The wellies pictured above were spotted at this weekend's V Festival by Osoyou's Jessica: the pink polka-dot glitter wellies were sprinkled in shiny stuff and varnished to keep them dotty, and the studded boots were made from parts of a Primark bracelet and a tube of trusty superglue.
Lavender is a soothing smell that is said to help you relax and unwind. It's also great to grow in your garden because it encourages the rare and fluffy bumblebee to visit, and it wears its purple well too. When does the wonder of the great flower end? Not here, apparently as lavender goes biscuity.
The fresh purple flowers look impressive right from stirring in stage, and with baking only taking 15 minutes you won't have to wait long to sink your teeth into them.
