Wildflowers and meadows 

Subject: meadow planting – some might say not a subject for the suburban gardener used to growing dahlias and roses all in a straight row. David Perkins, Head of Education at Roots and Shoots (www.rootsandshoots.org.uk) will help us think again. David has created an inspiring haven for wildlife on a quarter of an acre of land in central London. He will be talking us through wildflower meadow preparation, planting and maintenance and hopefully help more londonites do more for wildlife. David will also have slides, examples of plants and pictures to help guide us through the merits of meadows.

Date: 24th September

 

Time: 10:30 to 12:30

 

Venue: Faggs Road allotments, Feltham - www.hcfa.org.uk/faggs-road-site
