theWI Adderbury & District Wild Flower Gardening at KHH and Adderbury Lakes – 25th May 2017
Dear Members, Team WI wild flower gardening at Adderbury Lakes where are areas are doing rather well. We had a newly cleared area from late last year, next to our main bed, which we have now cleared of a whole bagful of very healthy thistles – Eeyore would have been delighted with our haul – which have gone on to the compost heap. The plot has now been seeded with kindly given wild flower seeds and own poppy seeds to hand, which should brighten our area considerably, even if only a few seedlings manage to struggle up through competing weeds and busy thistles. Hopefully, passing bees will linger over our wild flowers and carry back lovely pollen for honey making duties.

Published by Margaret Halstead · 22 mins · Team WI Wild flower gardening at KHH last Thursday, 25th May. Fading Campion blooms were pruned out and the path in our second bed was cleared by hoe to remove unwanted greenery. Over-hanging branches and plant material were cut-back and everything tidied-up. Our Campions continue to bloom well and we also have strong growth of our Corn chamomile plants which hopefully will bloom shortly. The KHH Open Garden day is Sunday, 4th June – 2 – 5pm when we hope to have a good show of wild flower blooms. See our photos of the day xxx Margaret Halstead...

Read MoretheWI Adderbury & District WI Wild Flower with GWS at KHH – Thursday, 13th April 2017 – A growing blaze of Pink Campions
Dear Members, Adderbury WI GWS gardening at KHH last Thursday, our area a sea of pink Campion plants, already standing to attention and looking very good. Add a few allowable buttercups amongst the campions and that’s our springtime site. Luckily, there are a few presently bare patches for new seedings which can be done very soon, when the ground will be raked both before and after seeding, very lightly just to cover the new seeds, hopefully giving us a fresh input of last year’s summer annuals. Maybe even a poppy or two. Our second bed spring plants continue to bloom well and look gorgeous. Here are a few photo views of our wildflower area xxx Margaret Halstead...
