Today's strong wind made it almost impossible to take photos, so here's a video of this amazing species-rich SSSI meadow in South Gloucestershire. 3 wks ago a sea of yellow Dyer's Greenweed, now a sea of purple Saw-wort, Knapweed and Betony 💜 #WildflowerHour #NationalMeadowsDay
My little contribution to #NationalMeadowsDay
When I set out to create a mini meadow in my garden I really didn't know what would be possible, but it's turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done.
I hope you like it!

Happy Meadows Day! Today the Marches Meadows Group in Shropshire launch their Hay Meadow poster, designed and illustrated by me. It shows the life cycle of a traditional hay meadow and some of the main flora/fauna you might see in and around them. #NationalMeadowsDay #plantlife
