Sunday, Sunshine and Seeds

Members and volunteers of our club set about preparing the wild flower meadow for the coming winter months. Once again we have had some excellent feedback from the local community regarding the positive impact the meadow has had on people’s mental health and the environment.

We set about raking off the old and tired meadow, gathering up armfuls of previous leaves and flower stems. As well as, saving a couple of frogs that were hiding in the undergrowth!

Once finished, the area was mowed by an enthusiastic 2 year old and his Dad using a ride on mower, while we had a quick cuppa and chat about future events of our vibrant club. When District Governor Nominee, Steve Howe took the hand held mower - the Meadow was being tended to by 3 generations of the same family. (his grandson and driver had just used the sit on mower!) We really are a Family club!

Once the ground was ready Past President Barry Woods scattered new seeds that had been collected and donated by club members.

We can’t wait to see our meadow in full bloom next spring- why not pop along there’s signage all about the flowers. With all the insects and pollenating bees - it’s gonna be really Buzzin’
