The seeds planted last autumn are beginning to germinate and grow.


As you can see, a multitude of different wild flowers are coming through. The grass was specifically selected to be slow growing to give the wild flowers a chance.
And some early plants are now in flower.
We planted some Fritillaria Meleagris in 2019 and an additional 1500 in 2020. These are now coming through and are creating a wonderful display which should only get better with time.
And the English Bluebells are also coming up.
Lastly we planted an additional 1000 Narcissus Pheasant Eye to create some drifts across the meadow.

So the meadow is developing well and we have high hopes. Later in April we will have some plugs to supplement the meadow under the trees.
This is going to be a scene of beauty. I am looking forward to seeing it in future years. Great work!

This is going to look fantastic. Very envious of your fritillaries, not something I’ve been able to establish here.
