This year everyone has been hard at work preparing the tough soil, clearing weeds and removing stubborn grass in preparation for the seeding of the meadow…and hasn’t it paid off! The meadow is situated at the bottom of the garden near the bee hives and for months now the meadow has been flowering. Not only is it providing a great source of nectar to insects and pollinators ( there have been bees buzzing around the flowers constantly!) it is also a beautiful sight !

The honey bees in the hives ( set up by the ‘bee the change project’) next too the meadow will also be benefiting from the flowers

The meadow has also helped us with educational events. At the get growing trail event this June , Mick was able to teach children and adults about minibeats and pollinators by showing them all the insects attracted to the meadow.

A big thankyou to Pictorial meadows where we got the seeds from . Here is a link to their website : http://pictorialmeadows.co.uk/
