Wildflowers and a woodland path

July 27, 2015 by Julian

The Sunday before last (19th July 2015) a few SACV volunteers were out in Chorlton Water Park and planted wildflowers (such as cow-slips and self-heal) on the edge of a path surrounding Chorlton Water park (heavy work as the ground was hard!).  After a well-deserved lunch, the next task was to lay woodchip on a woodland path, finishing off the work started at our visit here in early June.  Finally there was some planting, including butterfly-friendly buddleia, in a bird-feeding area.  A productive day!
