18-04-11 - Crane Park wildflower meadow weeding

These beautiful wildflower meadows have transformed this popular area of Crane Park, and to ensure that they stay looking colourful this year, we got busy with some weeding...


The meadows were first sown last year, and since then there has been a lot of grass that has encroached onto the areas. To ensure that there is as much space for wildflowers as possible, we got busy digging up the clumps of grass.




The ground was very hard as it hasn't rained in so long, and so the digging was tough work, but once we got going we amassed an impressive pile of grass.


This was one day that we can safely say that our tea break was really well deserved... well done and thank you volunteers!
