Wildflower Meadow @Martyr Close

Grow Community – Sopwell are planning to turn this patch of grass into a wildflower meadow, all thanks to Trustee Sonya who saw its potential! Our first working party in February 2023 saw local residents mow and sow wildflower seeds, create one of two planned bug hotels and arrange two pallet benches for visitors to sit on. The aim is to turn it into a great space for wildlife and a great teaching resource for local schools and youth organisations.

It may just look like grass now, but in a few years we are hoping for an area teeming with native flower species, insects and hopefully small mammals such as hedgehogs.
