FOLLOWING the success of this year’s colourful display near Bradley Stoke Surgery, South Gloucestershire Council has begun work to create more wildflower beds within the grass verges along Brook Way. A recent post on the StreetCare Facebook page said: “Following the success of a colourful wildflower strip along Brook Way, we’ve
started to remove the turf from adjacent verges.” “We’ll then be sowing wildflower seed, a rich mix of annual and perennial native flowers including cornflowers and poppies. By next summer we hope to have another colourful display of wildflowers that will benefit pollinating insects like bumble bees, which are declining in number.”
