Wildflower Trial

Thanks to the FoW volunteers who joined The Walks management team  on Friday 25^th April to commence our ‘Wildflower Trial’. We have sown two types of UK native wildflower mix (one suited to shady conditions, the other to sunnier positions) at several locations around The Walks.
We have also planted ‘seed bombs’ (mixtures of wildflower seed in clay pellets) and plant seedlings that we grew ourselves. We have recorded what we planted where.
It has been a very dry spring so far and the ground was hard. We can hope for rain! Some of the seeds may not germinate this year. We hope that by monitoring the sites we can get a better of idea of what techniques, seed types, and conditions will give us the best and most cost-effective establishment results.
