Grow a wildflower mini-meadow

Cultivating native wildflowers is one of the simplest things we can do to increase biodiversity in our own gardens while providing food for pollinating insects and perhaps birds and small mamals. So far this year our Gardening for Biodiversity project has provided wildflower seed to 17 people across the 4Bs to cultivate 150 square metres of wildflowers in their gardens. This is the best time to sow seed for next year so we are having one more campaign using the slogan Grow  a 1 Square Metre Wildflower Mini-Meadow. We will be giving away small packets of seed – a mix of perennial and annual native wildflowers to anyone willing to sow the seed onto a small patch of bare soil. To collect some seed stop by the WhatsApp Nature Group table in Betchworth Village Hall at the October 5th AppleFest.
