Eynsham's Wildflower Meadows: Sowing seeds, potting on and thistles . . .
This will be the third of our new regular meetings to start restoring the 50 acres that we have leased adjacent to the river Thames.
This is land where we can all help restore the nature around us. We will be continuing the preparation of the meadows, sowing wildflower seeds to grow through the summer and plant out in the autumn, preparing the land where we can, by hand and planting some of the wildflowers that we grew last year where they won’t get disturbed by the large-scale restoration with tractors and green hay from Long Mead that will take place in the summer.
Please bring thermoses and a picnic lunch.
We will be in the Neyotts Meadow (which runs from Oxford Road to Eynsham Lock) and in the two Changeable Furlongs fields beyond. We will leave from Long Mead at 10.00am. It is always helpful if you can arrive at the beginning so that we can brief everyone together. But if you can’t make it then, we’d love to see you anyway.
