The Birch Ladybird Tower
Description
A high-quality responsibly sourced birch and cedar ladybird tower. This charming wildlife habitat will soon be a haven for these beautiful insects.
The tower has a hollow central chamber to provide insulation and security for ladybirds. There are paths drilled through the log which provide access to the central chamber. The apex roof protects the central chamber.
The Ladybird Tower comes with a ground pole, fixed at the rear for transport. It allows the tower to be sited into lawns, sheltered flower beds, wooded glades, or even planters.
You can even rub ladybird feed on the tower for an extra special treat!
