The Council have once again planted wildflower meadows at Hiltingbury and Fryern, despite following RHS guidelines on establishing these meadows, last year we learned just how many weed seeds there are in the Recreation Grounds. So, going forward for the next few years we are taking a much more aggressive approach in the overseeding.  And we are being rewarded.

Thank you to one resident who kindly sent in the above photos taken at the beginning of the season. We look forward to seeing the changing colours.

We appreciate your support in maintaining these meadows and protecting them.  The increase in wildlife is just wonderful to see and it's thanks to your support that we are able to continue planting each year.

Please keep sharing your photos as we love to see the changing colours.
