Great to see more Scabious flowers emerging in the groups grown on from plugs and then planted out beside the main path by Mike and Malcolm a few weeks ago.

It seems appropriate to start July by saying thank you to our Field Work volunteers who have kept Mayfields looking attractive for the past 6 months.

Really satisfying to see White Campion in flower after selective weeding by Lesley, Paul, Tim and Flo near the Oxeye Daisies by the gate. These were from plug-plants grown on to pot size plants before planting out on the site.

Mike was delighted to see the orchids re-emerging for the 4th time beside Nelsons Lane on June 9th and managed to share this lovely photograph.

Lovely sunny day on June 2nd 2024 for our 8 volunteers trimming some excessive growth all round the site. Great to welcome Polly Davis as a new volunteer. Malcolm was really excited to see how well the yellow rattle he seeded late last year was getting established in the meadow.

All flowering well.

Well over a thousand Yellow Rattle plants from seed.

Polly, our newest Volunteer, with Wendy and Tim.
