David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) is delighted to welcome faithful supporters and new friends to join us at our annual Wildlife Ball to celebrate the natural world and conservation. Hosted by the grand Dorchester Hotel in London, the DSWF Wildlife Ball will take place on the 27th July 2024 where we’ll bring the wilderness to life with our very own Sundown Safari (观赏之旅).
Join a black-tie gastronomical (美食) safari
As part of a black-tie gastronomical safari, guests will be treated to a mouth-watering three-course meal, enjoy world-class entertainment and listen to insightful and inspiring speeches about DSWF’s conservation work to turn the tables on extinction.
The DSWF Wildlife Ball helps raise vital funds and awareness for our essential work, protecting endangered species and their habitats across the world. After a year away we are excited to be welcoming you back and look forward to being your guides at what promises to be a night to remember in support of wildlife.
Last year, the virtual Wildlife Ball raised over £ 800,000 for DSWF’s vital conservation efforts across Africa and Asia, despite not being able to celebrate in person. We are really excited to invite you back to the Dorchester Hotel, who are our generous hosts, and together aim to celebrate wildlife and the wilderness in style and to raise vital funds to help in the fight for a greener future.

【推荐2】Every year, the biggest and the best garden designers get together to create the Chelsea Flower Show, providing inspiration, trendsetting ideas and a glimpse of how our gardens might look next year.
On Trend: Green garden
Sustainable gardens have become a big trend in our towns and cities. Joe Swift inspired gardeners with his gold-winning design for the Homebase Teenage Cancer Trust that featured drought-buster (治理) architectural planting.
It could cope with even the driest conditions typically found in places where water is precious. His large pools of water had a cooling effect on people and plants.
On Trend: Space-saving Herbs
The Brewin Dolphin garden designed by Cleve West and Steve Swatton followed the Arts and Craft tradition, showing the beautiful strong lines of neatly beech (山毛榉) among its soft herbs planting. It proved to be a style that has never gone out of fashion.
You don’t need a large garden to have a piece of topiary (树木造型). These evergreens, which can be boxed or grown in pots, are easy to cut into shapes, such as balls, cubes and pyramids.
On Trend: Rhododendrons (杜鹃花) Woodland
Chris Beardshaw’s gold-winning design was packed with rhododendrons woodland bushes. It paid tribute (致敬) to Furzey Gardens in Hampshire, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
Rhododendrons might not be the trendiest choice but they deserve a comeback.
On Trend: Drought Buster
The Herbert Smith garden for WaterAid was inspired by the work of the charity and the transforming power of clean water.
Using water wisely is today’s issue, so invest in water butts (积水桶) to collect rainwater and gather waste water from baths, sinks and washing machines.

Dear Kitty,
When I looked into the candle this evening, I felt peaceful and happy. Oma seems to be in the candle and it is Oma too who shelters and protects me and who always makes me feel happy again.
But …there is someone else who governs all my feelings and that is…Peter. When I went up to get potatoes today and was standing on the stepladder with the pan, he at once asked, “What have you been doing since lunch?” I went and sat on the steps and we started talking. At a quarter past five (an hour later), the potatoes, which had been sitting on the floor in the meantime, finally reached their places.
Peter didn't say another word about his parents; we just talked about books and about the past. The boy has such warmth in his eyes; I believe I'm pretty near to being in love with him. He talked about that this evening. I went into his room, after peeling the potatoes, and said that I felt so hot.
“You can tell what the temperature is by Margot and me; if it's cold we are white, and if it is hot we are red in the face,” I said.
“In love?” he asked.
“Why should I be in love?” My answer was rather silly.
“Why not?” he said，and then we had to go for supper.
Would he have meant anything by that question? I finally managed to ask him today whether he didn't find my silly talk; he only said, “It's okay, I like it!”
Was this answer just shyness? I am not able to tell.
Kitty, I'm just like someone in love, who can only talk about her darling. And Peter really is a darling too. But I'm quite good at looking after myself, and knows that very well. And he likes his quietness, so I have no idea how much he likes me. In any case, we are getting to know each other a bit. I wish we dared to tell each other a bit. I wish we dared to tell each other much more already. Who knows, the time may come sooner than I think! I get an understanding look from him about twice a day, I smile back, and we both feel happy.
I certainly seem quite crazy to be talking about him being happy, and yet I feel pretty sure that he thinks just the same as I do.
Yours,
Anne
