Our hotel is open!

The e-Club’s wildflower meadow has recently been furnished with a three-story hotel – a bug hotel that is.

The bug hotel was designed and built by some of the pupils of Nicholas Hawksmoor Primary School and on Tuesday 14 July they assembled it in a nice quiet place. 

The wildflower meadow is still flourishing with new flowers appearing all the time such as the wild carrot shown here.

Winning design.

The children also had a bug hotel design competition run by the E-Club.  The designs were brilliant.  The winning entry shown won a bird box to put up at home and all the others received a certificate.

The wildflower meadow is as popular as ever with people taking photos of the different flowers and the bees and bugs living within it.  The meadow has made a huge impact on the people of Towcester and the surrounding villages.  The E-Club recently received a letter from a member of the community that said;

“I just wanted to thank you for the wildflower meadow, which has brought me and my family great joy over these difficult months. I have watched it develop from the grassy patch it was to the beautiful array of flowers, constantly changing, that it has become! Such an improvement!!A big “thank you” to those who had the idea, those who facilitated it, those who funded it, those who designed it, and those who did the hard physical work! It was well worth it. It is a very significant addition to the attractor the town - thank you again.”

Currently we have a temporary sign that has already been ‘moved’ and are therefor fundraising to erect a permanent sign. If you would like to contribute to this and the upkeep of the Wildflower Meadow then please click the link below:

Once the flowers have finished the meadow will be cut down and the area tidied up ready for the flowers to return next year.
