One of the biggest joys I have outside of the yarn arts we call Junk Yard Woodworking. I discovered during the pandemic, with nowhere to go, something to try was to build stuff for the yard. I started with the insect hotel.
You can see how it was built and see what the yard changed to 2 years after it was built. The thriving of the bugs and bees varies the environment significantly. Planting shrubs and trees. We don’t plant many annuals; we focus on things that come back yearly instead.

Very nice. I like how the mix of manicured and wild work together. ❤
wow! i Love the bug hotel Mikey! and your yard and house and dog are beautiful too!💞
What a beautitul environment you live in. The insect house is unique and creative. My only thought is that insects aren't easily controlled. Woodpeckers and termites nearly destroyed our cedar chimney.
What an incredible property!
What a gorgeous space – wish I could come and sit and have a coffee and a chat with – it's a bit far from Melbourne though!
What a lovely & peaceful looking sanctuary you have created. 😊🌳🌺🌻
Not just a hotel, but a resort. I love this!
You have a beautiful setting so glad you get joy from it.
So. Much. YESSSS.
Thank you for advocating for the wild things!
