Sustainable Crediton volunteers have been busy seeding the wild flower area at Newcombes Meadow, near the bandstand. We have enjoyed being out working in the spring sunshine, if somewhat challenged by the extremely dry conditions. Much watering is taking place in the hopes of securing a decent germination rate, and a colourful, pollinator-friendly summer.

We are looking into delineating the area so it is clear what is going on. In the meantime, we would ask people to avoid the area so the seeds have the best chance of giving a good show later in the year.

Big thanks to all concerned and especially to Simon O'Sullivan for supplying the seed and his expertise, and to the bowls club, town council and kind neighbours for water supplies.
