Table 10 is very good as a basis but more flowering shrubs going later into the summer and creepers such as honeysuckle should be included. Field Rose ( not dog rose as it is so hard to manage) should be included. There should be a list of non native shrubs to cope with the changing climate over the next 30 years see the RHS guide on adapting to climate change. Areas of long grass are critical for nature and wildflower areas need to be cut and collected, leaving at least a third uncut for hibernating insects
