Already with one area devoted to wild flowers in the college currently in its third year since sowing, Ali is trying to create a second. A small trial area was sown last year and this is now being extended to run through the orchard. The area is scarified, scuffed up, using a spring rake and then the seed is broadcast over these bald areas. Rain forecast tomorrow and a bit of cold, sun and warmth over the next month, should create perfect conditions for germination.
The seed mix is 80% grasses and 20% wild flowers. The wild flowers are:
- Betony
- Birdsfoot Trefoil
- Bulbous Buttercup
- Catsear
- Cowslip
- Common Knapweed
- Ladys Bedstraw
- Oxeye Daisy
- Salad Burnet
- Self Heal
- White Campion
Whilst working in the orchard this week, a lone snowdrop has appeared, a welcome sight on this side of the college.
