Nursery nurtures new bed for wildflower support

A new bed full of support for local wildflowers is taking shape at our Tree Nursery in St Asaph.

Thanks to the Tree Nursery community of volunteers, a new space has been created outside the growing tunnels to help the site’s local provenance work.

Volunteers have planted out excess plants that have been grown from seeds collected across Denbighshire into a newly prepared bed. 

Once the plants go to seed, the seeds will be collected and stored appropriately ready for planting the season after.

Keegan Blazey, Tree Nursery Officer said: “We have a brilliant community of volunteers here at the tree nursery, it’s great to help them learn new skills and we also learn through them thanks to the different walks of life experience they bring in each week.

“Francesca who is one of our student volunteers, really got stuck in to help create this bed which will give us a really great source of seeds right on the site to help us continue to protect and grow our local nature going forward.”
