really nice to see a well managed flower medow, we have only one really good example, here, at St Albans, a field that dates back to The roman empire and has been managed without loss of species.

 

got to love orchids, dont see enough round here.

I have been preparing my Wild flower bed at the brewery today. Too late to seed for this year but the bed has been prepared and left for 3 weeks then glyphosated. I'll leave it now through winter and do a final glyphos in the spring before sowing my seed. There is some bindweed I wnt to make sure I eradicate beforehand.

 

The brewery have left it to me as to what I do with the gardening side on the site so I just need 4 trees to plant which will not have a wide spread, not grow too high, not have a wide spread root system (cherry) and give a wonderful colour display for the road frontage
