A collection of wildflowers has been spotted on Piddington Green in the areas that we have deliberately left unmown.
Our resident expert, Jonathon Cains of Wellfield Road, has marked out the wildflower areas and is monitoring them to see what is coming through. He has logged twenty-two different species including the beautiful Pyramidal Orchid (anacamptis pyramidalis).
The strip of long grass alongside the Old Oxford road has been left uncut in order for the daffodils to get as much energy into their bulbs as possible.
The wet weather has meant that the grass has grown very long but it will be cut after the end of June.
