  Pic Andrews, an Environmental Volunteers field officer who has been coordinating the project, will come and speak about its vision and the journey so far.

  She will give you a detailed look at the first 4 Wildflower sites, the new Wildflower nursery group, the plants chosen, propagation, and the things they have learnt along the way.
