I am creating a natural area of wildflower meadow and woodland from 6 acres of previously horse-grazed rough fields. The project started in 2006. This blog is to share my experience (success and failures) of what works and what does not. The overall aim of the project is to increase the biodiversity to attract a wide range of insects, birds and animals to the local natural environment.
Biodiversity is being increased by creating woodland, glades, scrubland, hedgerows, a boggy area and a meadow.

Turning of the year
Cutting the meadow is always a happy/sad time. Sad to see the departure of such a vibrant plant and insect community. Happy that we are literally sowing the seeds of next year’s explosion of life.
