We've been making good progress with our campaign for a greener campus; our unmowed area has turned out to be almost twice as large as we first envisaged, and has rewarded us with bee orchids, self-heal, birds foot trefoil and enough white lover to cover a football pitch.
The red tailed bumblebees love it.
Next week we seed our second wildflower meadow, and we have some herbs to plant in a herb garden we extended. Looking forward to it.

ReplyDeleteFabulous! I'm so envious of your bee orchids. Have only seen them once in the wild growing on chalk downland. Such amazing plants.
ReplyDeleteTHank you both, I'm able to take more photos at work now, very pleased with this
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear how well your wild flower meadow is doing. Bee Orchids are so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to watch a Linnet... Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. Great news on the meadow front. You should tweet Springwatch, who are promoting these meadows at present...
