Read MoretheWI Adderbury & District WI – Our Wildflower Areas at KHH & Adderbury Lakes – Wednesday, 29th March 2017
Dear Members. Our two Adderbury & District WI wildflower areas at KHH and Adderbury Lakes are waking up with the perennial plants from earlier plantings. Soon the ground will be ready for new seeds to be sown, some saved from last year’s blooms and others from unopened GWS seed packets we still have in our possession. Whats so super about these areas is the strength of those earlier sowings and the plants they have produced. Soon our gardens will be in bloom again, which is so very exciting. latest photos of KHH with the first pink Campion flower of 2017 and then Adderbury Lakes – Margaret Halstead xxx...

Leaves have been swept away, the ground has been hoed and forked-over and hopefully, when the ground is a little warmer, new sowings of last year’s saved seeds will be made. We also have unopened seed boxes from 2016 to open and use and I’m really looking forward to another colourful explosion of wild flowers for this coming summer And at – Our WI wild flower areas at Adderbury Lakes are looking quite well, despite somewhat lacking digging and hoeing attention from our WI team gardeners. Our perennial plants look healthy and more sowings will happen soon, hopefully. Margaret Halstead...
