Fancy a picnic in a field of wildflowers? Then come along to the Mabley Meadow Community Picnic on Sunday 18 July (that's this weekend)!
Bring some food, a picnic rug and everyone you know to the meadow from 1pm for an afternoon of fun and good old-fashioned neighourly-ness.
Where should I go?
You'll find the Mabley Green Community Meadow on Lee Conservancy Rd, just past the A12 flyover. Take a look at the map.
What's happening on the day?
Beetle habitat building - bring some good shoes, and a spade (if you have one).
Wild flower safaris for kids - when you know what to look for, it's amazing what you'll find!
Bird-box building workshop - we'll set you up with everything you need.
Wildflower planting - we have some forks and trowels, but if you have one too, bring it along.
Meadow photo competition - with a prize for the best pic.
You'll also be able to join the Mabley Green Users Group and find out about some of the other amazing volunteer projects happening in our area.
Or just laze about in the long grass all day.
See you there!
We drove past about a week or so ago and there was your beautiful wild flower meadow - it took our breath away and came as a complete surprise! I've told other people to go and have a look- you all deserve a huge pat on the back for transforming this area into one of colour and joy - made me smile just to see it blooming modestly yet brilliantly!!

Thanks Alison! What an lovely comment! I'm so glad you liked the meadow - and it sounds like you came past at exactly the right time (when the poppies were really popping).
ReplyDeleteBest of all, we're only just getting started so it'll get better and better!
