There are still enhancement projects in the pipeline that require Yellow Rattle seed but some of them are scheduled for January 2027 which is too late to sow in the conventional way. In recent years I have been using a technique that extends the rattle sowing season up to the middle of February and now is the ideal time to prep.

Wildflower plugs, pots and seeds were delivered to Gwynedd Council yesterday for planting and sowing on the trunk road verges in the County. Delivery also included a quick training session.

We need bees. And bees need us to act. Comment NATURE to sign our petition to STOP chemical companies poisoning our precious nature.

Great job completed this evening by the team!
However it seems that very sadly, someone has been helping themselves to some of the plants we planted earlier in the year 😭 There are lots of holes where the plants have been removed and taken.. its awful, as we do this so everyone can enjoy it and nature can benefit. Neither of those things can happen if all our work is undone and stolen. Let's hope this doesn't continue 🙏

I went into our wildflower field today to see what is flowering despite the heat and dryness.

There's lots of flowers out in our wildflower field and it's looking really colourful. The more diverse a 'meadow' the more it benefits biodiversity.

MEADOWS DAY
SATURDAY 27TH JUNE, 11 - 5PM

97% of Britain's wildflower meadows have been destroyed since WW2.
Pensychnant has created three new ones.
This day will be a blatant celebration of Pensychnant's meadows, with instructive guided walks in the morning and afternoon on the creation and traditional management of meadows, plant identification, and invertebrate sampling; moths, children's activities and crafts.
This will be a great family day out. Feronia will be selling local provenance wildflower plants to create your own wildlife spaces. Also homegrown plants from Jessie TogetherOutdoors. Fair Trade tea & cakes available on the lawn in the sunshine amidst flowerbeds buzzing with bees and hoverflies. Free event but donations appreciated.

I'll have a stall at the Nature Day event at Eirias Park, Colwyn Bay on 4th July celebrating the fabulous wildflowers of North Wales. Come over and have a chat.
