Fareham Cemetery Wild Flower planting

Three volunteers from the Trees and Bees group joined with the very friendly Public Spaces Team from Fareham Borough Council to rake level and stamp down a wild flower mix in a part of Fareham Cemetery. In less than 2 hours, the group and Public Spaces Team prepared and planted an area approximately the size of a tennis court. It has been seeded with a mainly perennial mix of native flowers, no grasses,  with some annuals included.

We are hopeful this area will become a haven for bees and butterflies and warm the hearts of the cemetery visitors for years to come.
