WILDFLOWER MEADOW
The wildflower meadow will not only encourage butterflies and be a delight to look at but, once well established, will provide an area for children to play. It offers the benefit of needing little maintenance beyond the annual mowing, which will keep it looking good. One idea for this part of the garden is to encourage local schoolchildren to create some willow structures there. This area also provides us with scope to create some more allotment plots if there proves to be a demand for them in the future.
