Our novel community event !
Lots of people like the long grass around the edges of the Recreation Ground which is helping wildflowers and insects.
But this has to be cut at least once a year or else the grass forms a thick thatch and wildflowers can’t survive.
And then all the cuttings have to be removed to reduce soil fertility which is the key to helping more wildflowers in the future.
The mowing will take place fairly soon and then it’s hoped that lots of parishioners will join a ‘Community Hay-Day’ by bringing rakes and wheelbarrows on Saturday 6th September – from 10am.
The raking action opens up the grass for more wildflowers – the more help, the merrier for all …
Fantastic cakes, biscuits and drinks will then be available in the village hall during the community’s monthly coffee morning.
Fun for all the family – please tell all your friends and neighbours.
And please wear long trousers and sensible shoes for safety.
