Why not get out in nature with the kids/grandkids and find the 70+ artwork carvings on the Wild about Worcester Way?

Would you like your verges to look like this one in Dugdale Drive, Worcester? ..Except for yellow rattle, all the other wildflowers were just waiting to be mown and collected just once a year.

The first two photos show young trees in Perdiswell that have been weeded and mulched by our hard working volunteers. The last two photos show trees that were planted recently that are completely overgrown and could easily die without more of you volunteering. We need you to help

Yellow rattle, known as the meadow maker because it’s semi-parasitic on grass. Less grass = more wild flowers. We had school children collect thousands of seeds from Aconbury, Worcester last summer and our volunteers sowed them in several places, and WOW 🤩, look at the result.
