Reseeding the 3Bs

Despite the bitter wind half a dozen enthusiastic rewilders turned out to give the 3Bs Community Wildlife Garden behind the Methodist Church some maintenance. Much of the rough grass on the banks was strimmed off (and removed) and the entire 'annuals' wildflower patch was dug over and re-seeded with what should be a brightly coloured display of poppies, cornflowers, corncockle and corn marigolds.  Meanwhile packs of wildflower seeds for families to plant in small plots in their own gardens were left out for collection outside the Methodist Church, in Oak Grange and outside Jill and Andy's at the end of the high Street. By lunchtime, the majority of the packs had been taken so we look forward to seeing some photos of  'private' displays in due course. A further strip of land has now been offered for planting close to the school. It needs some work but if you are prepared to remove turf from 1 sqm of this area, please let us know.  Jill has kindly set up a new email
