The April Update on Caerleon Festival’s Wildflower Meadow
Remember the London Olympics in 2012? We will be using “Wildflower Earth“, developed by the same people who produced the impressive wild flower landscaping of the Olympic Park. This material has not been used in this part of Wales before, so it’s a first for Caerleon and possibly the whole of South Wales.
Also through the UK-wide Royal Botanic Kew Gardens project “Grow Wild Project” we have been awarded wildflower seed kits and will be sharing them with the Caerleon schools. Building on last year’s work when we produced and planted over 400 plug plants, we shall this year be offering all Caerleon schools window sill propagators, compost and wild flower seeds selected from the “Grow Wild” seed kits. These will become plug plants for planting out in our Gateway Project field later in the season. The schools can also use some of the seeds to sow wildflower areas in their own schools.
