FOR the second year running, a linear wildflower meadow is blooming in Lymm’s Ridgway Grundy Park.
And for the second year in succession, Lymm Parish Council has won widespread praise for the display.
The “meadow” runs along the full length of the football pitch in the park and is a haven for bees and numerous other insects and a blaze of colour for local residents to admire.
A second, smaller “meadow” has been created in the park, near to the Bridgewater Canal.
The work was carried out by Warrington Borough Council. But the idea came from the parish – who also paid for the work to be done.
The wildflowers faded and disappeared during the winter months and although some grew again this year, the two councils got together to re-seed them for this summer.
Perhaps surprisingly, the display suffered very little damage from footballers or spectators.
