theWI Adderbury & District WI – This week’s Wild Flower Gardening at KHH and Adderbury Lakes
Dear Members, Team WI were once again at KHH with Grow Wild Seeds on, Thursday, 13th July for ground raking, new seedling check – they are really doing well and coming along nicely, followed by a good chat to two KHH visitors who, viewing KHH’s gardens, came upon our wild flower area and were most interested to hear all about our site, our link with Grow Wild of Kew Royal Botanic Gardens and our growing flowers. And then, thanks to Brian, head Volunteer Team leader, I was able to put down more stepping stones at the rear edge of our main bed, to enable seed sowing during our Wild Flower Walk on Thursday, 27th July. Team WI also carried out a quick weeding session at Adderbury Lakes, on the main bed extension, which has been cleared of many thistles and re-seeded with wild flower seeds which, despite the thistles and other weeds, have still struggled to grow and survive. They should be looking really good for our Wild Flower Walk on Thursday, 27th July, Here’s pics of both sites – KHH and then Adderbury Lakes xxx +3 Margaret Halstead...

A quick weed at Adderbury Lakes by Team WI yesterday pm, in the hot sun, but oh my the benefit from just a short weed. That awful sticky plant line had wound its way around, over and through our wild flower collection – ox-eye daisies, Campion, and white Campion and poppies – and just by a little pruning out of this rampant weed, our plants were able to lift their heads and move more freely. Of course, what all our plants want is a good rainfall very soon. A nice, steady light downpour would be excellent xxx Boost post Adderbury & District WI LikeShow More Reactions CommentShare Comments Write a comment… See All Photos chevron-down See all Upcoming Events No upcoming events Make it easy for people to find your next event.

Published by Margaret Halstead · 7 July at 17:03 · Adderbury Team WI were at KHH yesterday weeding round our new Grow Wild seedlings, which are just beginning to appear, having been sown at the beginning of June. With the ground becoming so dry, I was rather anxious about their progress and very relieved to find them doing so well. Both beds were watered. Then a few light drops of rain are noticed ….that’s all, no rainfall of thunder storms a promised.

Dear Members, Adderbury Team WI were hard at work last Thursday, 15th June, clearing away twigs, branches and background material to bring more daylight to our Grow Wild wild flower area at KHH. Our Campion have sadly withered and fallen due to awful lack of rain recently. Luckily they were on show for the Open Garden Day at KHH on Sunday 4th June. As soon as the ground nearest the hedge is cleared, we shall be re-sowing and watering, to bring further colour to our area. …See more Margaret Halstead...
