The new Wildflower bed has finally been populated, huge thank you to our planters and to Dave and Margaret for receiving and storing the wildflower plugs.
This would not have been possible without funding received from Nescan Hub and assistance from John & Kate Malster at Curam Fyvie who supplied the plugs, shared their planting expertise and helped advise on planting layout. Massive team effort.

The wildflowers will be added to our watering rota to help give them the best chance possible.
