The planting of more wildflower species and increasing the number of those already present will reinvigorate the meadow. By populating the meadow with a comprehensive range of plants, we are supporting a longer flowering season and in turn, providing a richer habitat and nectar source for pollinators throughout the year. The plants chosen for this specific project include Hummingbird Hawkmoth, Common Knapweed, Bird’s-foot Trefoil and Lady’s Bedstraw.

By planting and caring for wildflower meadows in gardens, community spaces, allotments, and public spaces, we can help to reverse the decline in insect populations and biodiversity that forms part of the ecological emergency.

Bristol City Centre BID is on the lookout for more opportunities to add wildlife and colour to other locations around the city. If you would like to work with us on a future project, please get in touch.
