Last Saturday, Howard (Knobby) Withers from Princetown and his mini digger put in the hours for which we are very grateful as it would have taken us weeks! We prepared the seed bed for the wild flower edge along the path towards the car park and the orchard, ably helped by Dave, Mark, and Susy.

Thanks to all of the above, we ran out of seed, so Susy ordered some more (19 perennial varieties) . We also planted primroses and violets along the margins, which look great as they are currently in flower. The cowslips in the top meadow have survived the piping hot temperatures, saved I think by the return to normal April weather.

We have a paypal account and a donate page, so please feel free to do so. We would love to buy lots more wild plants and seeds, but they are very expensive, so every little helps.

We have lots of other things going on as well. Please message or email Susy if you have availability and are interested in volunteering with us at info@sirhowyhillwoodlands.co.uk.
