This song sings of flowers, herbs and lots of creatures who live even in the smallest garden. A colourful garden doesn't only look attractive but also attracts bees who play an important part in maintaining our planet.
This song can be sung as a two-part round, with or without accompaniment, finishing in gentle humming.
The song is also available in German under the title "In meinem kleinen Garten".

Busy buzzing, humming us a sweet song.

Cherry blossoms, lavender and thyme

Lots of lovely creatures live in my little garden

Butterflies and beetles, ladybirds and crickets
Busy buzzing, humming us a sweet song.
2. Sunflowers and bluebells, poppies, roses
Peppermint and raspberries or sage,
Bees are drawn to plants with open flowers.
Flowers feed the bees and keep them safe.
Chorus:
Lots of lovely creatures live in my little garden
Hedgehogs, snails and bumblebees play hide and seek.
Butterflies and beetles, ladybirds and crickets
Busy buzzing, humming us a sweet song:
(hum) m.....
