The Wildflower Meadow
An area was set aside for a wildflower meadow in Radipole park, it sits at the top end of the park at the entrance to the community orchard. A narrow path meanders its way through the flowers that positively buzz with wildlife. Poppies and grasses sway in the summer's breeze Hopefully it'll go from strength to strength as the years pass....

Certainly do for me because these were my childhood stomping grounds....
