Wildflower beds for Bridge Green near Illings Lane

/in /by

The four beds to be planted with wildflower seed and spring flowering native bulbs have now been sprayed off and the grass will shortly die. You will also see that pathways have been cut between these beds. When the grass has fully died off later in the month, we will arrange a working party to rake off the dead grass / scarify the ground to encourage a further flush of weeds to grow, which will be cleared before planting in the autumn.

If anybody has any questions about what we are doing, please contact Mark Ray on mark@broughtoncambspc.org.uk or 07875660559.

Although it is being organised by the Parish Council, the costs for it are not coming out of Parish Council funds. We have already had a number of generous donations to towards this, and if anybody else in the village, or any village based businesses would like to make a donation towards funding this, please send your donation, marked up as “Wildflowers” to Ann Nixon, Parish Clerk, The Old Library, School Road, or send to the “Broughton Parish Council” bank account Lloyds Bank, sort code: 30-94-47, Account no: 00949137 with the reference “Wildflowers”.

All donations received will be ringfenced and used only for the creation and maintenance of these flower beds. To do a full planting scheme it will cost about £700.

Thank you

Broughton Parish Council
