Bee on Board
This year at Simpsons we are focussing on Planting for the environment, highlighting how you can be a more sustainable gardener and how we can plant for and help the declining bee population.
We can all play our part. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out – everyone can plant for the bees!
Bee on board with us and commit to planting bee friendly plants this year.

Bee Friendly Gardens are Winners!
As part of our Bee on Board campaign, we’re looking for the best bee friendly garden / space in the Highlands & Aberdeenshire! We’re calling on families, schools and community groups to share their bee friendly gardens or start a new one. Whether you have lots of bee friendly plants, water features or bee/bug hotels we’d love to hear about it.
Last year we picked a winning garden by Josh, who showed great creativity and initiative.
