Caldecott Park Wild Flower Meadow

During March 2001 the overgrown shrub material was removed from the border, and a selected mix of native wildflowers and exotic annual species were sown. 

This is intended to provide interest from mid-summer through to early winter. Whilst a good show is expected during the first year year, subsequent years should provide even greater interest.

Although other opportunist species may find their way in to the meadow, watch this space, and look out for the following!
