Wild Flower Meadow

just looked, absolutely beautiful

isnt it gorgeous, i loved all the little pictures telling you what everything is too.

I did, I thought it was brilliant, well worth looking at,

Beautiful..stunning.. i love the pictures with the names too..it has identified 2 plants in my garden for me ..rose mallow & queen annes lace, so thank you Stick.the local council in the next town to us have sown wild flower seeds on spare grounds along a few main roads..it looks beautiful when you pass it , far better than just grass..

be nice down all the motorway corridors wouldnt it??
glad you liked it joanella

:o))

Well done to that couple to have the vision to create this ... absolutely stunning ... thanks for showing us this, Sticki ... :o)))

What a great idea, Sticki, to put this lovely story on here for us all to enjoy. It reminds me of "The Man Who Planted Trees" . . . one of Monty Don's favourite books!

Thank you - it's absolutely beautiful - put on my faves. :)

Just beautiful.

glad you all like it, i had my coffee break at work and saw the picture ~ nice to be able to share it with people who i know would like it!!

if i ever get there i hope to take some photos, this is their own web site:

Totally breathtaking! I think I might ask if I can fertilize this field when the time comes..my idea of heaven!

yes, i wouldnt mind helping there too tet!

Thanks for sharing Sticki....one word sum it up
SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

isnt it amazing, i would love to go there!

thanks for putting that on GoY Sticki,
great that the plantnames are all on there
i have to put that in reminders and keep an eye on it for next year.i would have loved to have seen that.
fantastic for insectlife too, bet it'll make terrific honey

OH WOW! How utterly beautiful. Certainly a field of dreams. Thnks very much x

I would certainly like to be in that dream!!! the weather forecast is not good for the weekend, i dont know how long the flowers will last? i will maybe email them to find out??

i was a bit worried about putting a newspaper web site up on the blog but it was so lovely i wanted you to see it.

we need a reminder section on here dont we ~ so we dont miss all the nice things!!

too true! Will post Tetbury's wildflower meadow but not for a day or two. I have to turn the computer off then on again for my mobile pics to upload, don't know why?! Friends arriving any sec, they are staying and going to Gatcombe horse trials tomorrow.

I've never seen such a beautiful meadow. Thanks for that link Sticki! :)) I think the man is right...hard to look at that and be angry...if heaven is like that...:))))

Incredible! I've passed on the link to a local man who has bought his meadow , which is a start - hoping this will inspire him.

Oh Sticki, how amazing, so glad you showed us. I've dabbled in this kind of thing and its not easy to achieve. I was wondering how they managed to get the flower seed to grow in a field amd then read the land was cleared, drained, ploughed and harrowed making it perfect for the flower seed. It must have cost a fortune to do but wonderful. Going to add your blog to my favourites, thank you.

Im glad you all liked it as much as i did ~ great that we have GoY to be able to share it!!

I've just seen this Sticki, it's marvellous isn't it! There are a lot of those plants that I grow in our garden, but they call them different names! Really useful article Sticki, thanks for putting it on!

I thought you would like it! wish it was near here so i could walk past it every day!

I think scarify is the word they use to prepare land for wild flowers. Hard work but worth a good try!!
Just blogetted the Tetbury little wildflower meadow, inspired by this wonderful link. :)

I have been now to this wild flower meadow, I will do a blog later, with a few photos!

Looking at this on a really dreary day cheered me up no end. It was absolutely beautiful. I read some of the reviews after it which appalled me.Why can't people look at something like this and be happy about it?

what did the reviews say rose ~ i didnt see them.

Well Stickie, I didn't look at them all but some of them were on the lines of "how can you call it a wildflower garden as some weren't wild flowers"One implied that it was for the publicity, some were appalled by it for various reasons.One person even suggested it was damaging the environment and another complained that the seeds would spread were they weren't wanted. Can you believe it. You ought to go back and read it yourself. I was disgusted by what some people said.Its a sad world now when people can't look at something beautiful like this and appreciate it,especially after all the hard work they put in.

Well I and a few million bees etc would be very happy is they self seeded!

i dont know if i want to be depressed rose ~ thanks for reading it for me!!! i agree with you ~ some people just moan anyway.
