Experiment has started
You may have noticed that a small area of the Green alongside the B1077 had recently been roughly harrowed. This area, about half an acre, has been chosen for an experimental wild flower 'meadow'. On the morning of Friday 25 March this patch was sown with commercially obtained wild flower seed that was 'spun' from the back of a moving truck to give good dispersal across the area. A little more of the harrowing and the use of a roller has hopefully secured the seed in the soil and it is now a case of 'wait and see' what happens over the next few months.
If the seed does its job, we can look forward to seeing many bright flowers being on view for all those who use the Green as they are out walking or who travel past by cycle or car.
