Winter work for summer pleasure









Thornhill primary came down to the Moss today to help us with the wildflower meadow by the car park. For the last few years they have helped us with the raking of the grass and then the planting of the wildlfowers as we work to make what was a plain bit of grass inot a fabulous wildlfower meadow. It was grey and miserable with rain from steady drizzle to bucketting down (good weather for planting, not so good for teachers) but they worked really hard and finished off the grass removal and got all of the flowers planted. It is muddy work (see the pictures) and not much to show for it immediately but come June and July the fruits of their work will be there for all to see. Last year the meadow looked good but with another batch of plants next summer its going to be spectacular. Thank you Thornhill primary.
