  In the past I’ve worked with loads of different wild legumes and bean species working with aphids, and the insects that can eat them (hover flies, ladybirds etc).

  Very good question. All the plants I’ve worked on have been interesting in their own way. Artemisia was interesting as it has special cells that stick out of its leaves called tricomes that contain various chemicals but one of these can be used to treat malaria.

Thank you 🙂 Which plant would you recommend we plant in our garden to attract ladybirds?
